Don’t miss this opportunity to see two powerhouse artists from different parts of the world collide on the same stage in a mish-mash whirlwind of gender/queer/ dyke/ coming-out/sex/chronicles that will make your head spin, your heart swell and your libido rise.
Vixen Noir: From horny little toddler to inimitable Sex Goddess… A funny, raucous, and edgy journey down the road of Vixen’s sexual evolution!
In Sweet Deliverance, Vixen Noir traces the evolution of her sexuality from horny little toddler to inimitable Sex Goddess. Funny, edgy and raucous, Vixen gets down and dirty with her grandmother, Sweet, as she sets out to prove that her smutty ways were passed down through her matriarchal bloodline. Vixen says, “Honey, I came out of my mother’s womb sexually aroused!†Sweet Deliverance employs a fierce mix of storytelling, poetry, monologues, songs, burlesque and dance, punctuated by video excerpts that culminate in an explosive climax destined to make you look at your own sexuality in a whole different light! As one audience member put it— “… you AMAZE me with putting wordz to the unspeakable. You unabashedly, unapologetically shed light on the darkest secrets of the brown girl'z ...private space...â€
Warning: 18+, Sexual Content, Coarse Language and Nudity

Sunny Drake: a multi-media gender-euphoric one-person performance - OTHER-WISE
Children, can you say gender-queer? Trans-gender? Can you say this morning on my way to school I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender? This is a show about telling his family about doing a show about showing his evolving gender. Confused? Welcome! Gender adventurer Sunny Drake takes up the challenge to articulate his gender journey, to arrive at this moment in time: gender = carnivalesque magician. A hide-and-seek peekaboo at invisibility, gender policing, class and white privilege and getting comfortable with ambiguity. Other-wise includes an ongoing performative documentation of the terrifying process of coming out to Sunny’s family. Dear Mum, Dear Dad… Show excerpt at http://blip.tv/file/1610449
