Twisted Operelas: An Intimate Retrospective with Christian De Gré Cárdenas

Tuesday, August 18, 2026•7:00 PM

From the dark and twisted mind of Mexican composer, playwright and seven-time New York indie theater festival winner Christian De Gré Cárdenas comes another volume of Twisted Operelas, a one night only intimate return to Joe’s Pub, 27 years in the making. Together, they open the vault on De Gré Cárdenas’ strange, surreal, twisted and deeply human theatrical tapestry, looking back just long enough to reveal what comes next.
