Experience a unique blend of comedy, storytelling, and Indigenous fashion this September at the Vancouver Fringe Festival with the premiere of Fashionably Late by talented performer Savannah Erasmus.
In her debut one-hour show, Erasmus invites audiences on a journey through three engaging acts as she tackles themes of anxiety, ADHD, and the rush of dressing up for an event.
Stepping onto the stage in a glamorous Hollywood-style dressing gown, Erasmus guides viewers through a comedic and touching exploration of her struggles with choosing the perfect outfit. Each costume change reveals her quest for confidence, culminating in the empowering embrace of Indigenous fashion and accessories.
Fashionably Late not only offers laughter and personal anecdotes but also serves as a tribute to Indigenous fashion. From traditional ribbon skirts to the evolution of contemporary Indigenous couture, Erasmus shares the history and significance of each piece from her closet.
The grand finale showcases a fusion of traditional and modern elements, symbolizing Erasmus’ journey towards self-acceptance and the celebration of her Indigenous heritage.
Through humor and heartfelt storytelling, Erasmus sheds light on her experiences with anxiety and ADHD while championing the beauty and resilience of Indigenous culture through fashion.
Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this inspiring performance at the Revue Stage on Granville Island during the Vancouver Fringe Festival from Sept. 10-20.
