Affections - A Queer Open Mic

Affections - An Evening about Queer Life

Idea : So we would do our regular open mic session right? But we wanted to do something more!

We’re gonna do… okay so planned for a storytelling session where we talk about dumb romantic stories either from your bedroom or outside (if you had any)

Oh then an open mic where we talk about all the times we thought we were queer - then proceeded to deny it the funny embarrassing obnoxious stories to laugh at because now we are here older and a little more queer.

Now drag. Because we want more of those also isn’t the culture so beautiful?

Queer Quandaries and Calamities - A story telling session on queer disaster stories

Theme : Unseriously worrisome romantic gestures

Timings: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Audience Pass: 250 INR

Affections : An Open-mic about Queer Love

Theme : Of course I'm not Queer...right?

Idea : The irony is, despite a longing for what is clearly not dictated as the normalcy by most media, despite an awareness for action that is certainly not straight, despite a desire for self that in no way makes sense to the reality.. we’re content to at least entertain the thought that perhaps we’re wrong. Perhaps our instincts, our notions, our desires and our thoughts are wrong, and instead, well, it must be that we’re just confused. After all, this isn’t what’s “normal”, right? Or in other words? Self-delusion is an unbelievably effective tool when executed by the self. Until you snap out of it, of course.

Timings : 5:00 - 7:00 PM

Audience & Performer Pass : 250 INR

Drag Race

Theme : Look Pretty
