Get ready for an electrifying collision of music, theatre, dance, and drag at a vibrant cabaret-style festival making its highly-anticipated return to Vancouver this week.
Urban Ink’s Transform Festival, a creative fusion of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, kicks off at the Vancouver Playhouse beginning Thursday night. Artistic Director Corey Payette is thrilled to present the festival’s most impressive and daring lineup in its six-year history.
Featuring headliners like Rebecca Strong, recent winner of Canada’s Got Talent, and Jaylene Tyme from Canada’s Drag Race hosting the opening and closing bashes, the festival promises a dynamic blend of local and national talent.
One of the highlights is the ‘Starwalker Experience,’ a unique night directed by Payette, combining live music from his musical Starwalker with a feature film that has garnered acclaim at film festivals worldwide, alongside performances by local drag superstars.
Don’t miss this opportunity to witness exceptional performances and embrace the unexpected at Transform Festival, where boundary-pushing artistry takes center stage.
Mark your calendars for Nov. 6-8 and Nov. 14-15 at the Vancouver Playhouse. Visit the festival’s website for ticket details and showtimes.
