San Francisco's calendar features a range of arts events spanning film, theater, drag, dance, and comedy. HUMP! Film Festival presents playful and transgressive erotic shorts hosted by drag performer Mary Vice at Brava Theater. The Day the Sky Turned Orange premieres as a musical following a San Francisco schoolteacher on the day wildfire smoke and upheaval transformed 2020 at Z Space. Fat Slut stages a bawdy drag contest and party hosted by Meatball at Oasis. Legions and Legacies mounts a site-specific performance at the Legion of Honor confronting Eurocentric museum traditions through contemporary forms like turf dancing. Local stand-up from Nori Reed continues the weekend offerings.
THU/4-SEPTEMBER 13: HUMP! FILM FESTIVAL Those familiar with sex columnist Dan Savage's two-decades-old XXX fest know that serious, it is not. The assembled shorts call upon the silly and weird of erotic couplings as much as they do the strictly hot 'n' heavy. At the shows this weekend, drag babe host Mary Vice will get things going. Brava Theater, SF. More info here.
As much as a considerable slice of us would like to forget the heady depths of 2020, there is no denying that one day, we will have to process all that went down that year. The world premiere of this musical play from San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company takes a compelling stab at it, following a San Francisco school teacher on the day forest fires flipped every one's already-frazzled world over again. Z Space, SF. More info here.
SAT/6: LEGIONS AND LEGACIES An unprecedented site-specific performance amid the museum's permanent collection from the troupe Megan Lowe Dances promises to express thorny issues of Eurocentric art tradition in relation to diverse and contemporary creative forms like turf dancing. Today is its last dance. To dive into the process behind this ground-breaking work, check out Lucia Verzola's incisive article, in which she speaks with Lowe herself regarding its surprising origin story. Legion of Honor, SF. More info here.
