Come out of hibernation and peel off those layers with Virago Nation as they welcome a new season at First Light: Spring Equinox Cabaret. On Thursday, March 16, 2023, this award-winning all-Indigenous burlesque troupe will be showing you ways to celebrate the good medicine that is your body at the York Theatre (639 Commercial Drive., Vancouver). Performing fearless acts of self-love, big auntie belly laughs, and (of course) striptease, they’re here to show you that being seductive and being sacred are not mutually exclusive.
Virago Nation has been described as “an empowering breath of fresh air” with “performances that will make you lust, laugh, cry, and scream #landback.” Get your tickets now and experience a dazzling evening of Indigenous burlesque, hosted by Virago Nation and Kickstart Disability.
