We Are Collective presents... A Flower in the Tumbleweeds
a rowdy dance theatre work that concludes Season IV
June 26th & 27th from 7:30p - 9:15p
at Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble
In-Person & Virtual Tickets Available!
Description of A Flower in the Tumbleweeds
A Flower in the Tumbleweeds is We Are Collective's full length dance theatre production. The show, at it's core, is a sapphic western love tragedy. It explores the town of Calamity Crick & those rolling on through. We follow Longshot Lani as she finds love, community, friction, and conflict in the Wild West. From the bandits to the brothel, we are gonna give you one helluva show!
In addition to the performance, we transform spaces to make an immersive experience as well as host the Queer Art Market which platforms queer artists from within We Are Collective & our community to promote the other art forms that they produce. We also offer community resource tabling at our events as well to provide a net of queer-safe spaces or organizations for the Chicago community with organizations like Brave Space Alliance, Center on Halstead, & Chicago Books to Women in Prison.
Doors open : 7:00p
Come to enjoy the Queer Art Market before the show begins.

Recommendation:
Round up your cowpoke & dress to the nines in your best western wears!
Are you the sheriff of Calamity Crick? A good ole' wild west roughneck? The barkeep at the Silver Spur Saloon? Or a painted lady over at Madame de Vere's?
That is for you to decide and us to find out!
