Rainbow Exodus

Rainbow Exodus is a solo performance created and performed by Karol Matuszak and directed by DE Co-Artistic Director Travis Coe. Rainbow Exodus premiered at our Farm Center in 2022, at a moment when “LGBT-free zones” were appearing across municipalities and regions of Poland—public declarations that LGBTQ+ people were unwelcome. From this charged landscape emerges one man’s journey to break free from the confines of his conservative upbringing, setting out from his homeland in search of a place where he can live openly and wholly, without hiding.

Queer Country Night with Jess, Emmett & Kim

Get ready for queer country with a twist! Jess Martin, Emmett Troxel, and Kim Hoff saddle up for a night of boot-stomping tunes, heartbreak harmonies, and just the right amount of political mischief. Classic sounds meet sharp turns as these three spin country music through a queer and subversive lens. If you don’t laugh, we’re doing it wrong.

“…Expect a Circus”

“…Expect a Circus”

  • The Workroom at Northampton Center for the Arts (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Audiences 14+ are invited to enjoy a captivating collection of contemporary circus works revolving around the power of the body. Inspired by Roxane Gay’s concept of the “unruly body,” through aerial, juggling, tightwire, and dance, these works subvert conventional circus aesthetics to interrogate the politicization of physical form. Rather than spectacle for spectacle’s sake, "...Expect a Circus" spotlights the dedication, activism, and discipline of circus arts while examining how bodies resist, provoke, and challenge the political sphere.
