Shows by Vibe
Cheetah Banks
Treading the peripheries of narrative and performance, characters embody codes of power, gender, and desire using dance, movement, sound, and objects, paving a path that is equal parts absurd, harrowing, and unpredictable.
Cyborg Dreams
They are of the-everyone, the suburban families and urban loners, the workers in collars blue, white, and rainbow; they are the masses, and the few.
Distillations
A multimedia and multidimensional journey through the anatomy of a moment, investigating causality, and emerging into the ground state of the juggling universe.
Dora's Gently Used Dream Store
Shop the store yourself or donate your own dream in this intimate experience about our relationship to the uncontrollable stories that come through us every night.
Faire Play
Crys Clemente
September 10 - 24
Liberty Lands
This sometimes silly, sometimes poignant, faux-Renaissance Faire performance that confronts and makes room for what it means to be a queer, Asian American performer in a medieval fantasy world.
Goodbye Party the Show
An evening-length work of physical theater and circus set in the offices of the going-out-of-business Earth, The Planet, LLC.
Half Magic
Joseph Ahmed
September 1 - 23
Fidget Space
A hilarious, heartfelt, magical journey into what it means to be mixed race, to search for community, and to hold the things we love with care and criticality.
Midnight Dreamin
An immersive art installation telling a story of Yoruba spirits, guidance and mental illness.
Psychic Predator
A solo, interactive, improvised dance performance for five audience members that embodies the internalized voice that stops or suppresses our creativity. Come help me turn the prey into the predator.
She Who Must Not Be Named
A ritual summoning by the Bouffon of the world's most beloved auth-, I mean the most powerful dark wiz-, I mean queen of the TERF-, I mean the de facto leader of the "Gender Critical" Movement.
Split Bill: A Musical Anatomy & Messy Perfectionism (Copy)
A Musical Anatomy by Mohit Patel is a one man musical, or as close as I can get by myself.
Messy Perfectionism by Sarah Owens: Ingredients - movement, visuals, poetry, truth, lies, emotions, and facades.
Split Bill: Aura & Glitter Baby
Aura by Britt Fishel examines the electromagnetic energy fields that surround living beings, including humans, animals, and plants, known as an aura.
Glitter Baby by Tammy Carrasco is a microcosm in which meandering dreamscapes, queer motherhood, and subtle spectacle collide and collapse into one another.
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: To Dance with A Purple Goblin & My Life With Shmike
In My Life With Shmike by Patrick Burke, two clowns attempt to retrace their steps from the pits of stupidity and figure out how they got to be so foolish.
To Dance With A Purple Goblin by Nick Ware explores mindful meditation, physical embodiment, and the practice of loving acceptance.
Tea Party at the End of the World
Your host for this tea party is new to the gig, but what she lacks in grace, she makes up for in burning human intensity and unexpected abilities.
Tiny Witch
Part cabaret, part fantasy fiction stand-up, Tiny Witch is a queer trans allegory, a ritual exorcism and just a damn silly time.
