OAKLASH’S OBSURDITIES
In a world that appears more extraterrestrial, more elementally unstable, and increasingly desolate each day, the uncanny shifts to the norm. Crepuscular beings inhabit the night, ruin grows into a strange beauty, and noise transfigures to delicate music.

Brought to life with the help of:
• MAMA CELESTE, our emcee;
• OBSIDIENNE OBSURD, working viola magic, and the diva of the night for whom the world is named;
• PEEKABOO, evoking bent heartstrings with original music for cello, voice, and live processing;
• THE CULT BABY, serving biblically accurate novel fashion;
• LISA FRANKENSTEIN, serenading us with a little more than a touch of irony;
• SASSI FRAN, guiding us through soul-fueling movement;
• LOLA REN, providing dextrous dance.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can to allow anyone willing to cross into our world, and all donations go to support Oaklash’s work for queer and trans art year round!
Arrive freshly primed, with wide eyes, an open heart, and a deep love for the heartbreakingly beautiful sweet decay that surrounds us.
