“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair./Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.”- Pablo Neruda
”When i can’t express/What i really feel/i can practice feeling/What i can express/And none of it is equal/i know”- Nikki Giovanni
This is a delightfully queer-saturated, poetically erotic, passion-drenched display of burlesque, drag, and pole. AI and bigots not welcome.
One night only. 9 performers. In addition to the show, enjoy heart wrenching drink specials (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and light snacks available from our hosts The Stage Austin.
