Join us for a night of music, poetry, and ritual exploring nonbinary identity. 

Tessa Romano (they/them) will perform nonbinary cabaret songs about coming out, expression through hair, and gender affirming language. Playground Ensemble will perform with me (Silen) speaking poetry that explores the paradox of being both de-sexualized and hyper-sexualized as a transgender person, divulging and releasing the harassment I’ve experienced from cisgender men on dating apps. 

Following, we will open the stage to other poets and spoken word artists to express and share with the option of musical improvisation over their words.

The Boulder show & the overall project Place Them on the Altar is funded by a grant from the Boulder Arts Commission, an agency of the Boulder City Council, with a generous in-kind donation from the Dairy Arts Center.

The Fort Collins show is sponsored by Bohemian Foundation’s Music Event Fund in partnership with SPLASH NoCo Youth, with additional support from CSU’s Pride Resource Center.
