Join Artpace for a spiritual drag show (of sorts): a reimagining of 𝘩𝘢̂̀𝘶 𝘣𝘰́𝘯𝘨, a traditional high-energy, high-stakes centuries-old Mother Goddess ceremony, brought to life by Spring 2026 International Artist-in-Residence Việt Lê (Hồ Chí Minh City). This collaborative performance brings together the sound art dynamic duo Justo Cisneros & Shea McGilvray (San Antonio) and dance dream team Anna Bauer & Jairus Carr (Austin). ​

Following the performance, stay for a panel and Q&A with the evening’s artists and musicians as they unpack the ideas at the heart of the work. Centering queer ritual across Southeast Asia and its diasporas, this evening invites audiences into a space where tradition, transformation, and transcendence meet.

San Antonio Sessions are generously funded by the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts.
