INFERNO JUNE 6, 2026 $15 NOTAFLOF DOORS 7, WEEPINGWILLOWTREE DJ SET 7-8, SHOW 8-9:30 125 Quint Street, SF 18+ A sinner goes into hell and travels through each of the 7 levels to find their loved one who was killed and taken. On each level they meet a different creature that tortures them and in order to get to the next level, they have to withstand it. They reach their lover in the end but realize they cannot bring them back so they leave a part of themselves with them and go back to the living.  What lengths would you be willing to go to bring back the one that you have lost? INFERNO is a full theatre experimental noise performance piece featuring all queer and trans artists of color that touches on themes of death, grief, love, community, politics, body modification, transhumanism, pain, spirituality, PTSD, trauma, and heartbreak. The performance features a cast of 7 multimedia queer and trans artists of color based in Los Angeles and Oakland, and a special effects designer, body modification practitioner, set design and robotics engineer, and sound designer.  All of the casted characters are long term chosen family and community members who are all grieving the person this play is about: Láwû (Mango) Makuriye’nte, a beloved force missed by many and loved by all. We hope to honor their legacy and the love that connects us and the pain that transforms us. To hell and back.  Cast @dagger.wound   @011080x   @octavias_secret_   @weedmubarak   @weepingwillowtree.34_dj   @shebreaks4rainbows   Stage and Sculptures @sauloviduct   Costumes @infinitewongg   @i.i.idesofmarch   @011080x   @weedmubarak   @octavias_secret_   Needle Top @hellasharps   Music @dagger.wound   Flyer by @weedmubarak Commissioned by Queer Rebels @queerrebelsbayarea and Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, San Francisco STAY TUNED FOR OCTOBER PRODUCTION IN LA @highwaysps

✨It’s that time again Queer Rebels Fest 2026 is here!!! This year we invite you into Ancestral Archive: Memory as Matrix ✨. As we gather in reflection, resistance, and remembrance, Ancestral Archive: Memory as Matrix is a call to embody the role of data keepers — channeling ancestral memory across time. Through multidisciplinary performance, storytelling, and collective imagination, artists will explore the intersections of grief and survival, future ancestral knowledge, and liberated worlds shaped by those who came before us and those yet to arrive. We honor the ways memory lives within our bodies, our art, and our communities. There will be a DJ and dancing before and after the show Masks are encouraged! Join us as we witness, remember, and dream together. 🌿🕯️ Stay tuned for our star studded artist highlights!
