The 2024 Hybrid DisabiliTease Festival will take place July 19-21!

Our Friday show will be in person at the Capri Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The show will be live-streamed on Zoom so that folks can watch from around the world. Our Saturday show will be completely virtual, with pre-recorded acts and a live emcee. Sunday will have in-person, live-streamed classes through the DisabiliTease Academy. Shows and workshops will also be available to rent/purchase a few weeks after the event. Precautions will be taken to ensure a COVID-safe and accessible weekend.

The DisabiliTease Festival (DTF) is a professional festival featuring disabled burlesque, cirque, cabaret, and drag performers. The festival strives to create a safe and accommodating space for performers to express themselves and receive the validation and recognition they deserve.

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the DisabiliTease Festival highlights performers not only from the Twin Cities but across the United States and around the globe. Our goal is to include a wide variety of performers at the intersection of disability with a variety of genders, ages, sizes, abilities, races and ethnicities, locations, beliefs, and sexual orientations, whenever possible. This annual event works to challenge and overturn the notion that having a disability decreases or interferes with a person’s desirability, allure, or competence as a performer.
