Tick,
Tick
Boom
will
explore
the
"themes
of
identity
and
hardship
in
the
art
world
and
it
acknowledges
cultural
events
of
the
time
period
it's
set
in.
It
is
set
during
the
times
when
AIDS
epidemic
ravaged
whole
communities
taking
from
the

not
only
loved
ones
but
voices
that
could
have
changed
society
as
they
knew
it
had
they
not
been
taken
