> PeeWee Nyob, Davi Cohen,
> Liam Barnes, and Rommie Ampil, Chakra Cabaret pays homage and  
> contributes to the radical queer arts community, continuing

> labels of “Art,” “sexual freedom,” and other ideological, aesthetic,  
> and social stances that mask and add layers of disconnection and  
> posturing between our clans and tribes.”
> DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
> Queer expression is evolving. In the 21st century, it seems to  
> become more important that we consider how we identify and what our  
> attachments are in ourselves and to others, familiar and stranger  
> alike. Queer spirituality—a self-collected and individual  
> collections and experiences of myths, symbols, and adoptions of the  
> world’s many spiritual-metaphysical-philosophical traditions for  
> creative expression over many millennia and many cultural paths—is  
> another equally important theme. Individual and communal experiences  
> that bond sisters and brothers in this time of paradigm shifts of  
> many dimensions and worldly uncertainties, we believe, are vitally  
> important.

> labels of “Art,” “sexual freedom,” and other ideological, aesthetic,  
> and social stances that mask and add layers of disconnection and  
> posturing between our clans and tribes. While “Performativity,”  
> “Camp,” and other importantly queer manners of social interaction  
> should be prized as traditions that have made powerful contributions  
> to queers and others beyond our community, it is important that we  
> regularly allow ourselves to become vulnerable, laugh lovingly at  
> our foibles and fuck-ups, and cultivate bonds that last in times of  
> hardship, and offer the needed support that will allow us to  
> flourish through many difficult changes in how we will best related  
> to one another.
>
> The seven chakras act as our overarching metaphor, for it covers  
> major dimensions and rites of human and supra-human experience.  
> These explorations are at times overtly self-critical, while the  
> greater experience of the evening is even more overtly affirmative.  
> With each “Color,” we utilize multiple modes of interaction between  
> performers and audience members where all are challenged to consider  
> how metaphors and aspects of each chakra play various roles in lives  
> and encourage us to take hold of benevolent spiritualities as  
> powerful tools of change.
>
> Some of the important issues confronted in the various charkas are:
> RED: Community, support, ideas of “family,” communal materialism
> ORANGE: Sensual pleasure, emotions, interpersonal relationships,  
> revenge
> YELLOW: Individual confidence, power, materialism, image and body
> GREEN: Vulnerability. unconditional Love, altruism, lessoning  
> suffering
> BLUE: Voice, Integrity, Personal Truths, Self-Expression, Language
> VIOLET: Intellect, rationality, intuition; Mind as Control Center or  
> Receiver?
> WHITE: Embracing spirituality, integration, wisdom, Eternity, Bliss
>
> Le Petit Versailles, created in 1996 by community neighbors is a  
> GreenThumb garden and a project of Allied Productions, Inc. a non  
> profit arts organization. LPV provides a green oasis for meditation
