Intrepid Theatre

As part of our Winter Series we are offering free online programming. This performance will be available to watch on demand anytime between noon on Tuesday February 23 and midnight on Sunday February 28. You will need to register for a free ticket, and a link will be sent to you via Eventbrite where the video will be posted during the available dates. We will also be hosting an artist talk with The Darlings on Sunday February 28 at 7:30pm, hosted on our Facebook page.

What sacrifice is consumed by the tantalizing pursuit of gender euphoria? Why do we crash endlessly as glittering waves on some far away beach only to be rolled back into a Sisyphean sea, tempest-tossed. Who prowls beyond the cold liquid crystal, that digital shroud, to establish the confines and consequences of the wicked? 

After two widely successful shows aptly titled “Quarantine I” and “Quarantine II”, the multidisciplinary non-binary drag performance collective, The Darlings, are back on stage direct to your living room, bedroom, kitchen, porch, rooftop, closet, or any other dwelling of your choice, and this time the queer phantasmagoria
is uncensored and excessively indulgent.

The Darlings are a multidisciplinary non-binary drag performance collective based in Vancouver. Their work challenges the boundaries of conventional drag and explores genderqueer, non-binary, and Trans experience through the use of movement, poetry, performance art, theatre, and immersive installation.

Tune in to The Darlings on February 14th as well for their third online pandemic broadcast The Darlings: Quarantine III.
