Broke- Asses of the Week: Los Osos Amorosos (Performing TONIGHT ONLY)
Every week we feature a different person from the community shedding a little light on their life of brokeitude. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something about the human spirit — probably not.
Wanna be a Broke-Ass of the Week? Holler at us here and we’ll send you the questionnaire.
Fluorescent furs: Baruch Porras- Hernández, (me llamo) Sebastián, and Kevin Seaman
Ah, tender is tonight….
No, a Fitzgerald drama is not on the roster at the Oasis this evening, although boozy spirals, some good old-fashioned Jennifer Jones-style scenery chewing, and some guy named Dick Diver could hardly seem completely out of place in that particular venue.
Instead, SoMa shall be treated to the softer side of the ursine set as Lilith Bear presents, for one night only, Osos Amorosos (Tender Bears). A gentle fantasia of gay bear, genderqueer and Latino identity themes, the show is headlined by SF artists Baruch Porras- Hernández, Kevin Seaman, and featuring Chilean singer-songwriter, (me llamo) Sebastián, in the final performance of his three week North American Gira Tierna- Homeless Tour.
Complimenting the evening’s program of sound, sight and song, will be other citywide sensitives, including, queer singer/songwriter Derek Schmidt, trans spoken word artist Kay Nilsson, 2015 Drag King Mason Dixon Jars, drag queens Tamale Ringwald and Sue Veneer, filmmaker Aron Kantor (Dirtyglitter), and DJ Cholula Caliente.
We decided to get to reach out to the tender hearts behind this teddy bear picnic and now present to thee our Broke-Asses of the Week! Yaaaay! –S.T.
