Join us for a spiritual drag show (of sorts): an elegantly bombastic remix of the traditional high-energy, high-stakes, centuries-old hầu bóng Mother Goddess ceremony, followed by a panel discussion with artist-thầy đồng | shaman Việt Lê; traditional lên đồng music legend Anh-Tấn; dancer Jay Carlon; DJ Déjame and Janet Hoskins, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Religion at University of Southern California. We’ll also have special-secret-surprise world-renowned guests—dance, and music collaborators—our secret sauce. Putting the “trans” in “transcendence,” and making it rain (like in da club), this event will center queer ritual in Southeast Asia, its diasporas, and worlds beyond.
