Steppenwolf 1700 Theater, Chicago
1700 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614, United StatesDream Devis, Chicago's trans-femme South Asian collective, return to Steppenwolf after last year's sold-out debut for an existentialist romp through time, history, mythology, and pop culture told in song, dance, and comedy. Led by drag artist Abhijeet and stylist-historian Saleha Salam, the show channels the feminine archetypes of Bollywood cinema through a camp, queer lens on the big questions of life and death. Part of the LookOut series in the intimate 1700 Theater.
