Queertopia is celebrating 10 years of radical and ruckus queer LOVE. Local queer artists join forces for an eclectic night of performance that celebrate the triumphs of the past and inspire us as we walk to road to TOTAL LIBERATION. Queer Love guides us in the call "None are free until all are free!"

Bedlam Theatre and Intermedia Arts are proud to present the tenth year of the annual PRIDE cabaret: QUEERTOPIA: A Cabaret Celebration of Queer Love. Curators Jeffry Lusiak and Nastalie Bogira present a cabaret-style evening of queer performance highlighting some of the most exciting, provocative, and dynamic queer artists working in the Twin Cities today. This year the Cabaret pays tribute to the performers, performances, and community that has made Queertopia a center for celebration outside mainstream PRIDE for the past decade.

As curators Jeffry Lusiak and Nastalie Bogira assemble a cabaret that looks back on and celebrates 10 years of Queertopia, Bedlam Theatre also takes this moment to look towards the future with a generative event. On June 20th, the weekend before Pride, at Bedlam's one-year old Lowertown venue - curators Harry Waters Jr. and Nico Swenson will gather a cardre of queer identified artists to host a day/evening-long immersive art event Rumpus, Roots and Routes: Rhizome Rising. There will be space for making costumes, conversing about the future and making performance on the spot followed by a dance party.
