SUMMARY:Transmasc Hours: Trans Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Transmasc Ottawa’s first group outing is open to everyone in the trans community\, our allies and loved ones. Come join us to see Re:Construct(ion) at the Ottawa Fringe’s undercurrents Festival! \nShow details: A trans man and his idealized cis self have made you a meditation—no\, a paint night—actually\, no\, a rumble—anything to finally get it right this time. Re:Construct(ion) is a poetic\, surprising\, and irreverent unboxing of idealized masculinity. It’s what would happen if a motivational speech\, a cage match\, a “how-to” video for gender euphoria\, and a locked diary exploded in a mess of cake and confetti. \nDon’t miss out on the chance to see trans theatre! If you can’t make it to Friday night\, there are three other shows throughout the weekend. RSVP HERE (https://forms.gle/uVF9sPdJg4pkHPrP9) BY FEBRUARY 4TH so we know how many spots to reserve!
