The Mushroom Kingdom of Ezili is a bold musical project created by Charlene Jean, where we reimagine Black, Queer, and Femme joy in an ecologically vibrant, pleasure-centered world. The story follows the Mud People—a polyamorous family born of the Mushroom land—who live in harmony under Queen Milfie’s guidance. When George, a struggling artist, forages mushrooms to overcome his creative block, he traps the Mud People within his imagination, reshaping their loving community into a constrained, monogamous nightmare. Over time, the two femmes in the polycule rediscover their love, transforming George’s mind from a prison into a spring of life, and Milfie brings him into the Kingdom, where he becomes part of the ecosystem he once exploited.
