Q-LAB: Oaklash's Obsurdities

July 11 & 12 @ 7:30pm

An Experimental Drag Cabaret. Buckle up for a wild night as performers from the queer non-profit Oaklash take over the Chan for an immersive cabaret experience that combines live music with alternative and experimental drag performance. Oaklash co-founder and DJ Mama Celeste emcees as a cast of queer and trans performers, including drag artist and violist Obsidienne Obsurd and cellist Peekaboo Salinas, shock and delight you from locations around the room. With spontaneous dance breaks and a spectacular drag finale, you'll be energized by the kind of boundary-pushing queer evening that speaks to the unique sensibility of Oakland and the East Bay.

WHY SEE THIS AT THE CHAN?
This performance will take place in the Chan's multi-stage layout with premium tables and general admission seating. A live DJ will spin before and post-event (ending at 9pm).

IMPORTANT TICKET AND VENUE INFO
Tickets for this event are $75 for Premium Seating (Table Seating Closest to the Stage) and $35 for Standard Seating (General Admission).
The event will be presented in a proscenium format with rows of seating facing the stage.
Pansy's at The Chan (our bar and lounge) will be open one hour prior to showtime and during intermission.

$35 general admission, $75 premium seating.

Presented by The Chan National Queer Arts Center.
