Unfurl your blankets and settle beneath the shade of the trees at Dufferin Grove Farmers’ Market, for a delightfully twisted performance, blending absurdity and enchantment. Free of charge!

The baroque queens’ attempt to connect with the ‘common people’ is genuine but out of touch with 21st century reality. With only the help of one faithful servant, they have to use their creativity to survive in the wild.
