In a Re:Galli Blonde (A Sissy Fix), a new work conceived as a performance ritual, Justin Bond and the House of Whimsy create an evening of music, spectacle, and magic inspired by the story of the Order of the Galli (at The Kitchen Oct 22-30). In ancient times, these gender variant priests/priestesses maintained temples to the goddess Cybele throughout the Roman Empire. Bond and a bevy of NYC’s finest performance witches gather to lift the harmful curse on gender- and sexually-ambiguous people, and to celebrate the legacy of the Galli and the third identity position in our understanding of the natural world.

Cabaret Cataplexy’s Ashley Brockington hosts this unforgettable evening.
