A co-created, experimental and cosy night of tarot inspired cabaret.
Gender Queer Tarot – if it’s been done before, we still clamour for more!
With the added twist of history and so expanding gender queer community through space and time. The VFD tarot is a willful whoop to our ingenious ancestors for inspiration and insight.
The event is divided into three - for our shenanigans are sacred:
Intentions can be set and cards will be conferred on the door,
We will come together in the spellbinding space of The Outsider’s Gallery VFD, hosted by The Irrepressible Andrea Boswell who will represent The Fool. The howling horn of Sarah Woolfenden will create a clarion call to community and a surreal soundscape, rallying resonant reciprocity... She will represent the four suits of the tarot.
The Cabaret of the Cards will begin, comprising of 3 ingenious acts, the 3 journeys that the fool pursues through the major arcana.
Journey 1 The Worldly One : Arkem Mark Walton
Journey 2 Turning Inwards : Charlie Jimenez
Journey 3 The Great Journey : Ella the Great
After this we gather to generate a group quest-i-on, posed to the tarot and followed by a 3 card reading.
We will embody these tarot insights through well-held whimsical psycho-magical acts and close the space together with a shared group intention.
This night plays with the insights of Rachel Pollack, tarot expert, trans activist, sci-fi writer and creator of the first trans cartoon super hero (and ex-Londoner).
A VFD Tarot Deck has been created by Sally Ruth Davies for the night, celebrating 22 Gender Queer Londoners .
There will be tea and cake.
Doors open at 7pm. The show starts at 7.30 and the event ends at 9.30pm.
This is an intimate event held at The Outsiders Gallery @VFD - book early to avoid disappointment.
