“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair./Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.”- Pablo Neruda
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.
