Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

The Riot Grrrls Revue is bringing you another intense, patriarchy-smashing, politically-oriented show! This production uses comedy and campy theatre to deconstruct the misogyny and trans-misogyny in sport culture.

We invite people of all genders and sexualities and from all walks of life to join us and connect with us - bring your parent(s), bring your partner(s), come alone. Come be part of the supportive and loving feminist energy that we all need!

Content warning: Although we use comedy, our shows also explore heavy topics like misogyny, colonialism and sexual violence. We empower people to take care of themselves by not attending if they feel like it will be too much or if they are easily offended. We will provide trigger warnings before any numbers that are particularly heavy, but our shows in general are raw and intense, and definitely NOT westcoast soft.

We acknowledge with great respect the Lkwungen-speaking peoples on whose traditional territory this event is being held, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

******************************************************

Gender neutral washrooms located up a flight of stairs. Single-stall wheelchair accessible washroom located on the ground floor - you will need to ask the door staff to let you in as it's the backstage area for the performers but it will be available all throughout the show.

There will be an ASL intrepreter for both early and late show.

Venue is low-lit; there may be some strobe/fake smoke and a small dog in the audience. Email if any of these pose a serious issue for you.
