Café La MaMa Live: Queer Arts Philly Jawn!
The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, House of Diorio, Girls Rock Philly, Spiral Q
Weekly live performances that experiment with form. Responding to calls for social isolation, Café La MaMa Live brings La MaMa’s 1960s café aesthetic to a virtual platform that links performers and audiences in real time across distance. Guest curators each week give artists a digital platform to share their work with the world.
Get a window into some amazing artists and activists in the Philadelphia Queer Performance scene. Take a walk with Cookie Diorio to meet some of the incredible Black Artists in Philly, get a sneak peak at non binary heart-throb Pax Ressler’s new love song album, enter into the studio of painter and cellist Daniel De Jesus, and more.
