THEYFRIEND is the world’s first nonbinary performance festival uplifting and supporting nonbinary performing artists! The festival will be live from Brava’s Cabaret in San Francisco in front of a limited in-person audience.
ASL interpretation offered Thursday, November 18.
This year’s festival features newly commissioned work by three Bay Area nonbinary performers:
Edgar Fabián Frías is a nonbinary, queer, indigenous (Wixárika), and Latinx, multidisciplinary artist, curator, educator, and psychotherapist.
LOTUS BOY is a gender-deconstructing, binary-defying, disabled Chinese-American drag king.
Peekaboo aka transcriptions01 is a cellist and aspiring ethnomusicologist researching the diaspora of ancestral filipin(o/a/x)/latinx lineages, soundscoring memories of love and heartbreak while simultaneously activating forms of healing.
THEYFRIEND will be hosted by Kevin Seaman and will also feature appearances from national nonbinary performers.
