The Bearded Ladies

The Bearded Ladies The Bearded Ladies is an experimental cabaret company. With wit and sparkle we tackle the politics of popular culture, sex, gender, and artistic invention.

🩷 Whether you’re a frequent Bearded flyer or with us for the first time, there’s something for everyone at Priority Hoarding: A Retrospectacle!

Wander through our sprawling multi-room installation fashioned into our idea of a q***r, metaphorical (H)Airport. Dig into Bearded baggage, both literal and metaphorical, accumulated over 16 years of making art and other forms of creative chaos. Interact with items to reveal the a hodgepodge hidden histories, highlights, hook ups, and (un)holy messes associated with trying to keep a tiny cabaret-company-that-could airborne and flying.

Made for anyone who has ever lost a bag, gotten stuck, or missed a (metaphoric) flight, this trans(formational) installation asks: how do you know it’s time to move on when you don’t know where you’re going?
