FAGGOT*S is the first authorized theatrical adaptation of Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta’s celebrated manifesto The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions (1977). The co-creators of the performance, Hadrien Daigneault-Roy and Sascha Cowan, explore this fairy tale as a vehicle for transmitting underground and community-based knowledge. Stories passed on in secret. Stories that are performed and re-enacted. Stories that move through our bodies, from generation to generation.

In this solo-performance, drag artist Hassandra explores the ramifications of cyborg faggotries in the era of artificial intelligence.Using a vocal mask technology developed by experimental composer Luke Nickel, the performer treats voice modification like makeup. Sensors link each facial expression to a sound, a tone, a voice. Pushing the boundaries of drag, this vocal mask enables a real-time cascade of identities—layering, colliding, and dissolving into one another. Queens, fairies, and faggots make their voices resonate like an earworm, intertwining and contradicting each other, to reveal the hidden community of Pansy Path. This magical street exists beyond time and trends, somewhere between the vibrant New York of the Stonewall riots and the dark depths of Berlin’s darkrooms. This street, both real and fictional, is the meeting point of all liberated spaces—a place where the laws of men no longer apply, and where small colorful utopias emerge in the heart of greyness.

Interdisciplinary and radical, FAGGOT*S explores the potential of a queer body that fully embraces synthetic, artificial, and technological means to appear and disappear at will. Everything is fake. Everything is real.
