Highways Performance Space

LGBTQIA+ artists share personal stories of discovery through words and movement—exploring love, childhood, and family in ways that are poignant, uplifting, often hilarious, and different every night.

Award-winning artists Victor Payan and Pocha Peña bring their By Any Memes Necessary locura to Highways with a bold fashion show/performance exploring resistance, drag, rasquache, camp, lucha libre, and all-around fierceness in the fight against fascism.

Fighting the rising tide of his own insanity, Dr. Ilya Ivanov seeks to create Homo Ivanus, a half-man, half-chimpanzee. This adaptation focuses on his period creating the Humanzee, and the decade spent torturing and inseminating chimpanzees with human sperm.
