Andrea returns to Asheville to support their new book, LORD OF THE BUTTERFLIES.

In a fierce oscillation between activism and love, Andrea Gibson’s newest literary triumph, Lord of the Butterflies, is a masterful showcase from the renowned poet whose writing and performances have captured the hearts of millions. An artful and nuanced look at gender, romance, loss, and family, this is also a book of protest. While rioting against gun violence, homophobia, and white supremacy, Gibson celebrates gender expansion, queer love, and the will to stay alive. Each emotion in Lord of the Butterflies is deft and delicate, resting within imagery heavy enough to sink the heart, while giving the body wings to soar.

Winner of the first ever Women of the World Poetry Slam in 2008, ANDREA GIBSON remains one of the most captivating performers in the spoken word poetry scene today. Known for pulling hearts out of chests to either wrench or kiss, Gibson has authored four full-length collections of poems, an illustrated book of their most memorable quotes (Take Me With You, Penguin 2018), and has released seven beloved albums. Gibson regularly sells out 500+ capacity standing room only venues to eager audiences, mouthing along every word, further popularizing the art form and creating a space for each person in the room to feel, and to heal.

“Gibson’s poems…are forthright and pithy, putting into words the feelings of anyone who has
been angry, or outraged, or embarrassed, or in love.” — STAR TRIBUNE

“Andrea Gibson is an amazing queer, spoken-word poet who can make you weep with a heart wrenching love poem and then swiftly inspire you to action with a powerful political poem.” — Seventeen

? WE HAVE SOLD OUT! ?

The early Egyptians recognized the Spring Equinox as a sacred turning point of the year, and built the Great Sphinx so that it points directly toward the rising Sun on that day every rotation. For our ancestors, the birth of spring meant that winter’s cold was ebbing, dwindling food supplies would soon be replenished and bellies would be full once again — certainly a cause for celebration!
Join us as we celebrate the astrological new year with the FIRST EVER electronic music performance in a dome theatre on March 22nd.

Desert Dwellers have been blowing our minds for years, most recently on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. We’ve become huge Datagrama fans after first seeing their visual accompaniment to Tipper’s sets at Okeechobee, Resonance, and Tipsgiving this past year. These two acts will be simultaneously performing under a 76 foot 360-degree dome theatre for you and your 224 cosmic companions.

Jack Hurley will be providing visuals for the opening acts,
follow him on instagram @anti_alias_
supporting musicians will be announced soon!

FREE fruit, water, and healthy snacks will be provided through the night, no alcohol will be served, and live art will surround the theatre for your viewing pleasure during your celebration.

**Event organized and curated by Drum Circle Productions and Kind Productions**

“Tap dancing will never be the same.” (The Times)

This is not just tap. Experience high voltage, rugged, raw talent in the tap dance phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. Dein Perry’s Tap Dogs takes the stage with its “positively electrifying” (The New York Observer) trademark blend of live music and tap dance like you’ve never seen before.

“Part theatre, part dance, part rock concert, and part construction site” (BBC), the show is crammed with high-energy dance, theatrical performance, and live music. Whether in water, upside-down, or jumping through scaffolding, the Tap Dogs have been performing to the beat of their own drum for over 20 years.

Winner of over 15 international awards including an Olivier Award and an Obie Award, this global musical smash hit has appeared in more than 330 cities on six continents and has been seen live by over 12 million people. A worldwide television audience of more than 3.4 billion saw 1,000 Tap Dogs performing in the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.
