Cirque du Slay
Forget everything you thought you knew about circus. This isn’t your childhood big top, this is something curious and queer.
Vancouver Pride Week is hitting the Rio Theatre on Thursday, July 31 as co-producers April O’Peel Productions and Du Jour Marketing present CIRQUE DU SLAY, a provocative and powerful night of drag, circus, comedy, and sexiness, showcasing an all-queer, all-creative cast that'll flip your expectations upside down - and hang 'em from the ceiling.
This one-night-only event promises boundary-pushing acts from some of the most devoted and unapologetic performers in the city, including Cali Cobalt, Malandro, Batty Banks, Dame Derrière, Space Cake, Rain City Circus, and many more. From arresting aerial acrobatics to groundbreaking ground acts, this is a celebration of queer expression like no other. Expect the unexpected, and come ready to cheer, laugh, and maybe even blush.
Featuring: Cali Cobalt, Malandro, Batty Banks, Dame Derrière, Space Cake, Rain City Circus and many more!
