Fashionably Late: A Blend of Comedy, Storytelling, and Indigenous Fashion at Vancouver Fringe
Get ready for a unique and engaging experience at the Vancouver Fringe Festival this September with “Fashionably Late,” a captivating one-hour show by the talented performer, Savannah Erasmus.
In her debut hour-long performance, Erasmus combines stand-up comedy and storytelling to take audiences on a memorable journey through three acts. From navigating anxiety and ADHD to the pressure of choosing the perfect outfit for an event, Erasmus shares her personal experiences with humor and authenticity.
The show kicks off with Erasmus donning a glamorous Hollywood-style dressing gown, setting the stage for a series of outfit changes that reflect her inner struggles and triumphs. As she explores different looks, it’s the embrace of Indigenous fashion that empowers her to feel confident and ready to shine on stage.
Beyond the laughs and outfit changes, “Fashionably Late” is a celebration of Indigenous fashion, its rich history, and the significance of traditional pieces. Erasmus showcases her collection of traditional ribbon skirts while delving into the evolution of Indigenous fashion and its cultural importance.
Each act builds towards a powerful finale where Erasmus unveils a stunning outfit that symbolizes the fusion of traditional Native fashion with modern elements, highlighting the beauty of Indigenous culture.
Through her show, Erasmus not only shares her journey with anxiety and ADHD but also celebrates Indigenous fashion as a form of healing and empowerment. Audiences can expect laughter, insights into Erasmus’ personal struggles, and a deep appreciation for the artistry and significance of Indigenous fashion.
