Join us on Thursday April 16th 2026 at 5:30pm for
âBijuriyaâ: a hybrid drag performance by Gabriel Dharmoo
Location:
123 Encina Commons
615 Crothers Way, Stanford, CA 94305
Presented in a hybrid format of artist-talk, live performance, and video excerpts, Gabriel Dharmoo will present his interdisciplinary drag performance âBijuriyaâ - an inventive meeting between in and out of drag identities. While Gabriel is a music composer and experimental vocalist, Bijuriya is a drag artist engaging with South Asian culture. Gabriel values innovation and risk taking as he navigates Eurocentric artistic scenes.
Bijuriya seeks to touch the hearts of fellow brown queers. Both have marginal practices, engaging very different audiences.

âĄïžor more simply put, an onstage costume change from my recent run of shows at @buddiesto
đž @nadiagvdr
Anecdote: At the end of « Curryâs a Mix » I take off my costume gradually until Iâm only in pads/pantyhose, leading to a moment of me lying on the floor, catching my breath in silence. At Buddies, the stage was elevated and the audience was sitting below at floor level; this inspired a staging choice where my body is sprawled on stage, but with my arms and head spilling off it. The first pic here (which I think is such a marvellous shot and composition!) captures this moment.
Weâre so obsessed with these stage and bts shots from our run of @gabdharmoo âs Bijuriya last week by @nadiagvdr .

âšItâs Opening Night of Bijuriya! We canât wait to see you tonight at none other than Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
Created and performed by Gabriel Dharmoo, Bijuriya is a playful, genre-defying work that slips between drag, song, storytelling, and sound. Dharmooâs dual personas collide in ways that are sharp, funny, and deeply imaginative â a piece that feels as dazzling as it is disarming.
Enjoy this quick clip with Gabriel Dharmoo and step inside the mind and music of Bijuriya.
You donât want to miss show!
Opening Night âšWednesday Nov 26 // 7:30PM
