An all IBPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ cast comes together for a completely new form of an opening bash! The films feature a unique blend of dance, poetry, and performances like nothing you’ve seen before, and important dialogue inspired by the message of the TRANSFORM Cabaret Festival. The beauty within the intersections of these artists are paralleled only by the complex and riveting catalog of the festival.
