One day, every apocalypse happened at once.
Follow three survivors and their dog as they try to understand what happened to the world, and build a home from the ashes.

Not to mention the "Knights of the Round Table", a former university rugby team turned maniacal feudal lordship on the hunt for their Sir Peredur, and the witch Morgan Le Fay.

13 min Episode 1 of 9
Folxlore tells the stories of queer people living literally and figuratively between two worlds. In one sense, we try to live normal lives while the world tells us we are not normal. In another sense, our normal lives are interrupted by a very not-normal rift opening up between our world and another plane of existence filled with nightmarish horrors. This pilot series deals with themes of first romance, hate crime related trauma, and queer parenthood Folxlore is rooted in everyday Glasgow, where monsters are always on the edge of your periphery.

Shivangi Mariam is a writer, independent researcher, and translator from India. The piece is about the function of memory in the face of mass violence.
The poem was written in response to a massacre that happened in Shivangi’s home city Delhi in 2020, a massacre where the victims continue to await justice. This is their first time matching their poetry to sound design. To do this, they collaborated with Osloob, a Palestinian rapper, singer, and music producer. For Osloob this is an experiment in style too, because he had never created sound design for spoken word.
