Shows by Vibe
FEELING HARD? OR HARDLY FEELING?
This shocking, sickeningly silly circus of S&M will feature experimental theatre featuring sideshow, striptease, and endurance art.
Family Acid Trip
A collaborative work of experimental theater and music about a family trying to heal themselves through a shared psychedelic experience.
Homos! A Solo Disaster Musical Bitch.
Local Queer Dan Kitrosser wrote a queer post-apocolyptic musical but has always hated scheduling actors. So now, just like the chronic masturbator, he's going to do it himself!
It's Time We Pay Them A Visit
The earth isn't dying. People are killing the earth. And those people have names and addresses. It's time we pay them a visit.
Just Like Hollywood
Continuing the decades-long collaboration between Melanie Stewart and John Clancy, this work centers on, explores and explodes the entrapment and degradation of a young woman in contemporary America.
Catholic Guilt
Does daddy Jesus's naked body on the cross make you wet? So will this show (no, seriously - there's water). We will laugh, we will sin, will we make it to hell together?
LA PULGA PUTA
Join us as we create a space that defies expectations, challenges societal norms, and embodies the true essence of Mexican cultural expression. Bienvenidos a La Pulga Puta!
Make Me Out of Clay
30-something Jewish enby, Ella-Gabriel, draws on Jewish folklore to reckon with violence and colonialism, past and present.
Mirele Lernt Zich Yiddish/The Chasm Project
A One-Woman Cabal! Go beyond schlep and kvetch with me. What does Yiddish breathe like? Sing like? We can dance Yiddish together too, once I figure out what that even looks like.
Ohnonononononoooo9/11MANComesREALLYreallyhardTONIGHT
A true to the definition 9/11 meditation, ceremony, ritual that takes you really way high up in the sky and smash your head into the glass windows of reality.
Open Mic, The Musical
A bleary glimpse inside the mind of an aspiring stand-up comedian, where ambition and ennui collide.
Rat-a-Tat-Tat
Will this brazen young lady prove herself to be the next big Broadway star? I don't think so!!!
Shroman Shmoliday
Shroman Shmoliday aims to create a vision of a smutty, gay, romantic trip, drawing inspiration from the film Roman Holiday.
Split Bill: Inner Essence & Thursday a fantasia of days
Inner Essence by Shiyu Wang tells a story of self-discovery, from the way we move and feel to how we interact with the world around us.
Thursday a fantasia of days by Lillian White is experimental response to The Man Who Was Thursday, GK Chesterton's turn-of-the-century metaphysical thriller.
Split Bill: Power Moulting & Man of the People
In Man of the People by Bellisant Corcoran, a sweet bum ponders how to be a good man when the world can't seem to agree on what that actually means.
Power Moulting by Kathleen Taylor disfigures and reconfigures behaviour so that it becomes impure, idiotic, and joyful.
Split Bill: Sounding Spaces & Cloistered C
Cloistered C by Aram Alan Aghazarian is an absurd meditation on moving through walls and changing locations.
Sounding Spaces by Barry Sharp is an improvised solo show that integrates acoustic instruments and industrial ambiences into a dynamic and psychedelic performance experience.
Testing Site
A being is summoned into a white room and finds out that he is a subject in a series of experiments relating to phobias, conducted by a godlike mystery.
