Red Eye Theatre

This interdisciplinary showcase brings together some of the most electrifying MN-based queer performance artists working in the Twin Cities today. Blending clown, stand-up, ritual performance, and experimental movement, the Out Loud Out Here Showcases explores identity, embodiment, absurdity, and transformation.

From comedy that thrives in tension and silence, to the embodiment of pop-spectacle infused with a dash of CULT energy, these performances channel the mystical and the grotesque. Out Loud Out Here each artist offers a distinct entry point into worlds that are as hilarious as they are haunting.

This is a night for audiences ready to feel something strange, to laugh unexpectedly, and to witness work that refuses to flatten the contours of our beautiful 2SLGBTQIA+ complexity.

OUR ACTS

Zelia Gonzales – A Minneapolis-based clown and improviser creating physical, unsettling work driven by what goes unsaid. Host of Clown Picnic and regular performer at Bryant Lake Bowl.

A.P. Looze – Interdisciplinary artist making ritual-as-performance. Work that is mystical, embodied, and rooted in transformation and collective aliveness.

Marcela Michelle – Jerome Hill Artist Fellow and transdisciplinary performer whose work has appeared at Walker Art Center, Guthrie Theater, and beyond.

Eleonore Olivia – A sharp, emerging queer comic using stand-up to process—and resist—the current political moment.

Tom’s Diner - A tawdry trio of Twin Cities Burlesque and Draglesque hotties bringing range in the style of a juke box musical. 

Bailey & Orren – Puppetry, circus, and dance collide in grotesque and tender storytelling about trans identity and becoming.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
