Overview

THIS IS NOT A DRAG SHOW

If you come expecting one, you will be very, very, very disappointed.
Instead, come and explore what it means to YOU to perform gender! Whether that’s heightening your current gender identity, dipping your toes into what you consider to be the ‘opposite’ of your identity, or finding a blend of every gender identity all at once!

All drag performance is gender performance, but not all gender performance is drag. Whether you want to explore ‘passing’ or ‘satirizing’, this exploration is for you!

With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.

About the Artist

Cinna$lut is a drag persona created by Nico Montalvo, a current student with Pig Iron. She loves to act a fool & make an audience question as to whether her act is doing anything for them.

Cinna$lut used she/they pronouns, & her handler Nico uses your pronouns (or they/them if you panic). Both have been involved with Texan state politics campaigning for the protection of drag performers, and are eager to keep exploring what it means to ‘perform’ gender.
