We have always been here, sure - but who are we again? Queer history is less of a family tree and more a beautiful knot of strange recognitions, anachronistic desires, and touches across time. Join Queer and the Classical, your hosts Dionysos Slain and Izzy Okay, and a dazzling cast of performers as we untangle, misinterpret, and relive the queernesses of the global ancient past through drag and performance art.
But were Achilles and Patroclus really gay boyfriends in the Iliad? We're not telling.
Accessibility
Avalon Café has a single step entrance but can provide ramp access for wheelchairs, and is otherwise level throughout. The venue does not have a toilet which can accommodate a wheelchair. The audience will mostly be standing, but we will be putting out one row of seats which can be reserved. This event will feature loud music and flashing lights, but no strobe lighting.
