Cypherbird Projects will present a genre-bending fusion of comedy, storytelling, poetry, drag, and interactive art that takes audiences on a journey through The Unexpected at the Denver Fringe Festival. Catch Cabaret Of The Unexpected at the Mercury Cafe starting at 6:30 p.m. on June 6 and 8! Tickets are $15 on the Denver Fringe website.
Snag a surprising stanza from Corrina Espinosa's poetry-blending machine and experience a captivating mashup of disparate arts on a common theme, possibly a Poetry Slam/ Moth Story Hour/ Absurd Comedy kind of evening. Poet and storyteller Brice Maiurro (co-creator of the nightly howl heard around the world in the lockdown days of the pandemic- really!) will guide the journey through an unexpected melding of original performances and art by nine Colorado creatives in one intriguing evening.
Cabaret Of The Unexpected features the talents and creativity of Israel Avila, Cristina A. Bejan, James Brunt, Sean Michael Cummings, Lisa Wagner Erickson, Corrina Espinosa, Cara Leoni, Brice Maiurro, and Weird Alnite. From the Colorado Queer Comedy Festival to Red Rocks, DCPA, Meow Wolf, the Kennedy Center, NPR, and the BBC, these creatives have left their mark around the world. "I can't wait to watch what happens when the creativity of this fantastic group comes together for Cabaret Of The Unexpected," says curator and Cypherbird Projects founder Lisa Wagner Erickson.
Mark your calendars for June 6 and 8; an evening of surprise and wonder awaits!
