YALINI DREAM
Lankan
Blood, Manchester Born, Texas bred and Brooklyn steeped, YaliniDream
is a Queer Sri Lankan Tamil raised in outside lands. She conjures spirit through her unique blend
of poetry, theater, song, and dance.
Joined by
cellist Varuni Tiruchelvam,
percussionist Seema Pandy and other soul touching musicians, YaliniDream's vigorous performance travels thru many spaces
from the humorous conflict of a young girl's dilemma between sexy thoughts and
bedtime prayers to a mother coming to terms with her daughter's sexuality &
community's contradictions to the heart wrenching stories of the ethnic
conflict in Sri Lanka. YaliniDream journeys this terrain through a hybrid form of
dance that draws upon contemporary and classical South Asian forms as well as
US Urban dance forms such as Popping, Hip Hop, and Experimental House.
Saturday, June 20 - 8pm/$20
BRONX DRAG CABARET
Elizabeth "Macha" Marrero and Appolonia
Cruz join forces to present an evening of non-stop entertainment with drag

holds the guest list. Other performers include Chanel
International, Tyra Allure and Gina
Paradise.
