... 

The Triangle of Shame unfolds in a distant future — a world where the culture war is long over. Gender autonomy, queer rights, and women’s liberation are relics of history. The backlash has triumphed.

At the dimmed end of the rainbow, a team of experts is preparing the grand opening of a new museum dedicated to the “dark age of political correctness” — the era we now live in. Their task, however, is far from simple: all the books have been burned, the archives erased, and human diversity outside a strict binary system has been banned and censored out of existence.

We follow this group as they attempt to reconstruct the forgotten utopia that was once Iceland — a supposed paradise of human rights — while grappling with baffling questions left behind by history:
What, exactly, was Pride?
How did J.K. Rowling save the women’s restroom from the international rape syndicate?
What kind of tea did the so-called drag queens drink?
Where did the indoctrination of children take place?
And who — or what — was They?

The Triangle of Shame is a darkly comic, sharply satirical exploration of memory, morality, and the absurdity of fear. A glimpse into a future that dares to ask: what happens when progress itself becomes the enemy?
