The end times. 2012. The revolution. Terror. The chosen people.
Disaster. Militarism. Revelations. Plague. The dawn of the 5th World.
Space colonization. Making new homes and surviving new worlds.

In this highly anticipated divine new Mangos With Chili performance
spectacular, come see the Bay Area’s noted and notorious QTPOC
performance ensemble present an evening of all new collaborative work
and hybrid performance exploring our visions of the end of the world
and what comes afterwards.

From growing up in the apocalyptic worlds of Brooklyn, Scranton,
Oakland, and Beirut, to the myths of the end times our ancestors told
us, to the last crazy QTPOC dance party before The End, to living
Octavia Butler’s dreams now, the Mangos With Chili crew will give you
dreams and nightmares about revolution and our changing world through
our high-intensity theater, dance, spoken word, drag, song, and more.

Mangos With Chili: the floating cabaret of QTPOC bliss, dreams,
sweats, sweets and nightmares is a Bay Area based arts organization
committed to showcasing high quality work of life saving importance by
queer and trans artists of color to audiences in the Bay Area and
beyond. Founded by writer and spoken word artist Leah Lakshmi
Piepzna-Samarasinha and dancer, choreographer, and burlesque artist Ms
Cherry Galette, Mangos with Chili began as an annual touring cabaret
of queer and trans people of color performance artists, and now
presents year round productions in the Bay Area in addition to our
annual touring cabaret.

The troupe has performed to sold out houses across North America,
wowing audiences in world class theaters, underground performance
spaces, bars, community venues and campus halls with their hot, high
intensity, and breathtaking performance, politics, and craft,
reflecting the lives and stories of queer and trans people of color
and speaking out in resistance to the daily struggles around silence,
isolation, homophobia, and violence that QTPOC face.

Mangos with Chili is a fiscally sponsored project of CounterPulse.
Production of QPOCalypse Now! is made possible by the generous support
of the Horizons Foundation, the Queer Cultural Center, the San
Francisco Foundation, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and the
generous support of our community of donors.
