Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Three intimate 45 minute sessions, reading your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
