June 12th: Home Queer Home: A queer cabaret exploring the journey from "family of origin" to Family.
7:30pm, Ceremonial Room, LGBT Center, 1800 Market Street.
Queers come from all over the country to live in San Francisco. In cars, on busses, planes, but what happens along the way? Who do our travels turn us into and then what happens once we get "
home"? The journey of gay isn't just coming out. It's moving out, defining out and somewhere in our travels - redefining family and what exactly
home means. This
show examines the transient culture of queer and
home with stories from writers, dancers, singers and artists from around the country. From New York City to Michigan to Stockton to San Francisco natives - everyone has their own journey to what
home is.
Join us at this multi media cabaret featuring dance, film, spoken word, stories, songs, smut and more as we all try to work out, define, examine and create a new vision of
home.
Starring:
Cindy Emch, Daphne Gottlieb (including a collaboration with filmmaker Sabrina Alonso), Storm Florez, Justin Kolling, Humilty Swim, Esther Zinn and Mollena Williams. Curated by Cindy Emch.
