Virago Nation: Live, Laugh, #LandBack

Whether you’ve seen burlesque before or have always wanted to, here’s your chance to relish in the rematriation of Indigenous sexuality.

Virago Nation is a collective of Indigenous artists on a mission to reclaim Indigenous sexuality from the toxic effects of colonization. Through humour, seduction, pop culture and politics, Virago Nation shows that Indigenous women, femmes, non-binary and two-spirit folk are thriving outside outdated colonial structures and designing dynamic multi-faceted sexual identities rooted in their own desires while doing so.

Virago Nation has been described as "an empowering breath of fresh air" with "performances that will make you lust, laugh, cry, and scream #landback."
