Spring has sprung and so have we. 🌸🦌✨

Welcome to BACCHANAL, a night of queer revelry, desire, and delirious spring fever. We're transforming Ruba Club into an enchanted forest meadow for a variety show + dance party celebrating awakening, longing, and the chaotic magic of being twitterpated.

VARIETY SHOW

🍇 Gingerpuss - "Grape Expectations: A Juicy Celebration of Self" - Dionysus at a queer forest rave who just discovered burlesque. Grapes, wine, sexy forest creatures, and a deliciously unhinged bacchanal.
🎵 Olivia Broderick - The forest songbird herself, bringing opera's most seductive songs of love.
🔥 Oberon the Demon - Puck shapeshifts into an enchanting mushroom creature, using fire to seduce humans for the Faerie kingdom.
🍑 Victoria Reno - The nicest ass in all the forest. Nick Bottom: genderfucked, femme but daddy, cocky, and VERY horny.
🎪 Kiss the Clown - LED hoop magic meets enchanted forest whimsy. Blink and you'll miss, pucker up and Kiss.

YOUR HOSTS Danielle Levsky & Nathaniel Fishburn as King Oberon & Queen Titania

SET DESIGN & LIVE PAINTING Gabrielle

Vibe: Flushed cheeks, forest floors, flower crowns, and faun energy. This is spring awakening meets queer bacchanal. Dress in your most woodland creature, nymph, satyr, or feral springtime fantasy. Think: mossy, floral, feral, and a little unhinged.

From the producers of Candy Land (Halloween 2025), which brought 140 queers to National Mechanics for a sold-out night of variety, dancing, and sweet chaos.

Danielle Levsky (they/she) is a West Philly-based transdisciplinary artist whose work brings together clowning, physical theatre, and embodied storytelling.

Their work includes "The Waiting Room", an interactive clown show where Toska the Clown and the audience navigate a Kafkaesque immigration processing center; "War and Play, " commissioned by National Queer Theater at Lincoln Center in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and "The Crone Chronicles, " a physical theater fairytale and audience-interactive exploration of Slavic folklore. Recent presentations include PhysFestNYC, Cannonball Festival, Philly Theater Week, and FringeArts Scratch Nights.

As a community curator, Danielle hosts and produces monthly events like Full Moon on Fire, Studio 54 Live, Candy Land, Philly Clown Slam (co-produced), and more, connecting performance to community healing and social transformation. They also lead workshops in yoga, clown practice, and Jewish clown traditions.

Danielle's work centers on breaking down barriers between performers and audience, using clown to reveal connections through shared vulnerability and play. Their performances investigate how we process complex historical and personal narratives through the body, finding humor and humanity in all spaces.
