About the Show

This interdisciplinary cabaret production combines puppetry, performance art, drag and burlesque to explore the unique relationships we have to our bodies — as a whole or in parts — and to ourselves.

Red Velvet Riot and Ellis Centric are the combined forces behind HERE: productions, a company rooted in the belief of art as embodied imagination, political critique, and societal cross-examination. Since 2024, the company has produced at the Newport Theater (HERE: at the end of the world, HERE: in our bodies) while also creating a recurring community engagement series (HERE: together) and is currently in development for two new productions.

Using the stage as a medium to express, reflect, share, and organize, presented shows question social and political beliefs while building interdisciplinary cabaret performances around a central narrative. Productions weave multidisciplinary theatrical elements including original sound and video projections, drag, burlesque, acrobatics, performance art, as well as puppetry and crafted props.
