Diasporic Dreams are dreams dreamt by those in motion, by the migrant, scattered people of various diaspora - those far away from their ancestral homelands or those who don't have a land to call home. At the time when a new anti immigrant paranoia makes it to the media HyperGender brings artists that transgress borders and intertwine cultures.
Diasporic Dreams is a HyperGender special and is a part of PEARL: WOW Celebrates 30 festival, celebrating thirty years of uncensored and independent theater making at WOW Cafe Theater. Diasporic Dreams will be followed by Lesbolesque at 10pm.
Hosts: Award winning duo recently seen at Miss LEZ pageant, NYBF and more, JZ Bich & N
Guests: Japanese Butoh performer Azumi Oe, Dame CuchiFrita and Miss Aurora Boobrealis of Brown Girls Burlesque, video by Anti Social and more.
