The Pomarium: an Immersive Drag Spectacular hosted by Tilia Cordata

This September 25, when apple season is bursting with ripeness, we introduce “The Pomarium”, an immersive drag spectacular inspired by the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan—the birthplace of the modern apple.
Step into the ancient orchard where myth, magic, and drag first took root.
Hosted by Tilia Cordata, The Pomarium is an immersive drag spectacular inspired by the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan—the birthplace of the modern apple (Malus sieversii)—where towering trees have flourished for millions of years and legends have taken root alongside them. From this primordial forest, the humble apple began a journey that would shape civilizations, inspire folklore, and become one of history’s most enduring symbols.
Throughout the evening, performers will guide you through a living orchard of stories, drawing on myths and legends from around the world. Encounter the forbidden fruit of Eden, the golden apples of the Hesperides, the Apple of Discord that sparked the Trojan War, the enchanted isle of Avalon, Snow White’s poisoned temptation, and countless other tales where apples represent love, temptation, beauty, immortality, transformation, and fate.
Blending high-concept drag, dazzling costumes, music, comedy, and theatrical storytelling, The Pomarium celebrates the apple not simply as a fruit, but as a cultural icon whose roots stretch from the forests of Central Asia to every corner of the globe. Like the apple itself, drag is an act of cultivation—grafted from history, nourished by community, and forever evolving into something unexpected and beautiful.
Join us beneath the branches for a night where science meets folklore, history blossoms into fantasy, and every performance bears forbidden fruit.
