The Collapsing Future Cabaret
Art in the dark for a good cause.
Fringe artists move their traditional midnight cabaret online to raise funds for Winnipeg’s Bear Claw Patrol.
Every summer, during the Winnipeg and Vancouver Fringe Festivals, the performers host a rogue midnight cabaret event where they present an assortment of strange collaborations and baby-faced fresh bits, in a venue lit solely by the flashlights of audience members, scanning all corners of the room to spy their light on the next random act of art in the dark… It’s rough and risque and all for a good cause: all proceeds are donated to a local charity.
With Festivals largely cancelled for this season, some of the touring Fringe artists—myself included—decided to move the cabaret online…and thus,
The Collapsing Future Cabaret was born!
It’s a wild ride of brand new tight-knit bits from some of your favourite Fringe faces, in support of an important cause:
Watch. Enjoy. Donate.
If you enjoy The Collapsing Future Cabaret, please consider making a donation to Bear Clan Patrol.
Bear Clan Patrol is a Winnipeg-based, indigenous-led volunteer organization of Community People Working with the Community to Provide Personal Security in a non-threatening, non-violent and supportive way:
“It came about as a result of the ongoing need to assume our traditional responsibility to provide security to our Aboriginal community.”
