Sasha Velour ′13 is going on a North American tour with Smoke and Mirrors. Starting on October 21 in Texas and winding their way through The States and across Canada. The show toured Australia and New Zealand with In The Dark Events in January 2019 to rave reviews. It debuted in the U.S. for the first time in March 2019 at New York Live Arts, played The Ace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles in May, and made its UK debut with two sold-out engagements at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London this August.

An incredible performance that will leave you energized, filled hope and love for all. The show reflects on Sasha’s personal journey with drag performance that began in Vermont. Ever-present is their dedication to inclusion and voice for all. Sasha’s cartooning is everywhere! The show features beautiful, interactive animations, and the program and accompanying catalog are both pieces of art.

Reviews of Smoke and Mirrors:

• “For Velour, the idea that there are only two sexes, diametrically opposed, is ridiculously reductive. In her show Smoke & Mirrors, Velour, who is gender fluid and uses feminine pronouns when dressed as a Queen, pushes us to realize that the distinction between male and female, like past and present, good and evil, singular and plural, is a construct, restrictive for daily living but productive for artistic creation.” —Abigail Weil on The Theater Times
• “The intensely personal production shows what a top-of-her-game queen Velour really is, both as an artist and as a storyteller.” —Interview with Paper
• “Through 13 genre-blurring lip-sync performances curated and designed by Velour, the queen combines drag, live theater, visual art, and personal storytelling into the innovative and immersive show — which includes Velour exploding into rose petals, vanishing in a poof of smoke, sawing herself in half, manifesting a wild rainstorm, and morphing into a black and white tree as she highlights themes of gender, fame, family, and loss.” —Joey Nolfi on Entertainment Weekly
