In this season of TD Amplify Cabarets from Arts Commons Presents, we are taking you to the interstellar edges of the known and unknown universe – this is Johnny Carson on the International Space Station. This is Seth Meyers meets Sputnik. Our hosts Sargeant X Comrade – aka Yolanda Sargeant and Evgeniy “Comrade” Bykovets – are piloting the variety show of Calgary’s intergalactic dreams to the stage of the Engineered Air Theatre.
Under the theme of Venus: Future Love, we’re celebrating the month of love by taking the pulse of what makes our hearts beat: Love. Beauty. Pleasure. As we hurdle through time and space, these qualities have been the eternal draw, so hold your valentine close and explore how, why, and what we love.
Featuring a guest appearance by rapper and videographer Gbohunmi and live performances by electronic R&B and pop trio Lost Decade and spoken word poet Bubba B the MC and aloT of Poetry, Venus: Future Love will turn the heat up in the cold of outer space.
