Before We Were Named
I will not be playing myself at all in this one! And I’m glad, cause I need a break from being me to regroup after a ridiculous semester:
Friends and Colleagues!
Hope to see you at this brand spanking new production next week!
This is not your typical theater – it’s a hands on show that invites the audience to interact directly with the performers and sets. The show references historic World’s Fairs and marketplaces to explore the creation of polarities between the global north and south, and as a forum through which cultural mythologies and ethnographic fantasies are birthed and mediated. And the show also promises to be playful, sexy and bold and features a very talented lineup of drag stars, dancers, theater makers, circus performers and musical virtuosos.
There is limited audience capacity each night because we want the audience to experience the show and subject matter in an intimate setting. So get your tickets now if you haven’t!

Enter scenes inspired by world’s fairs of years past and marketplaces at the edge of a distopian future. Move freely through a collaborative theater environment to interact with queer origin stories, myths, and fables told through music, dance, film, experimental performance and ritual.
Come witness new work from some of the Bay Area’s most innovative and notorious QTPOC artists and troublemakers centering migration, the birth of cultural mythologies, the queer body in diaspora and the many ways we’ve been named, celebrated, remembered, demonized and memorialized.
