Mangos With Chili: the floating cabaret of queer and trans people of color
bliss, dreams sweat, sweets and nightmares, is two weeks of history-making,
electrifying, and revolutionary performance by 9 queer and trans of color
artists working in the genres of spoken word, theater, dance, drag, and
burlesque.

Using performance to tell stories of race, class, survival, sex, dreams, and
trans, femme and genderqueer identities that span Sri Lanka to Morocco to
the Philippines to the Caribbean to Brooklyn to migrant small town
Washington state, Mangos With Chili is a groundbreaking performance cabaret,
taking This Bridge Called My Back into the 21st century.


Inspired by similar traveling roadshows like the Tranny Roadshow and the Sex
Workers Art Show, in 2006 sister femme vixen performance artists María
Cristina Rangel and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha decided to start a
similar tour featuring queer and trans artists of color. Using their
experience creating events in Toronto, Boston, New York and the West Coast,
the first Mangos With Chili tour will hit the Northeast and Canada for
Spring 2007 (Full tour dates and venues below).


Our spring lineup consists of Ching-in Chen, Dulani, Ignacio Gilberto
Rivera, Kay Barrett, Suhayl Ramirez, Victor Tobar, Thomas Andre Bardwell
(aka Miss Nicholle Pride), Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and María
Cristina Rangel. The show will contain both collaborative and individual
work, bringing a wide spectrum of breathtaking queer and trans artists of
color to universities, theaters and community art spaces.
