A Stranger Sound: transgender coming-of-age performance

Arising from Berlin’s queer party scene, A Stranger Sound is a dark yet affirming transgender coming-of-age story. Through music and poetry, the show leads audiences to journey through “gender dysphoria and chemical ecstasy // chemical dysphoria and gender ecstasy… And glamour as a survival strategy.
Witness Darling Fitch during the only Philadelphia stop on their American tour, bringing an honest account of queer space: community, self-discovery, safety… But also addiction, escapism, narcissism, abuse, and self-harm.
With performances throughout Fitch’s first year of testosterone therapy, accumulating changes become evident, particularly through the juxtaposition of live/pre-recorded vocals. A Stranger Sound tells an ongoing story, physically and thematically revealing the ever-shifting nature of life.

FREE show.
Doors at 7.

$1 all beef or veggie bean tacos until we run out
$2.50 Tecates all day
Half off all drafts 5-7 & 10-11pm
