Gabriel Dharmoo, the innovative, award-winning composer and vocalist, is back—this time with his vibrant drag persona, Bijuriya. Together, Gabriel and Bijuriya meet on stage and blend queerness, brownness, and humor in a captivating, one-of-a-kind performance that explores identity through music and drag.
In this playful yet thought-provoking examination of the intersections between queerness and brownness, Gabriel and Bijuriya delve into the power of their voices. Get ready for an unforgettable night where eclectic musical styles such as original pop, Bollywood soundtracks, and experimental soundscapes meet playful lip-syncs and powerful vocals.
Gabriel’s multifaceted artistic practice encompasses musical composition, vocal performance, drag artistry, interdisciplinary arts, and research. His last sold-out performance of Anthropologies Imaginaires left Music on Main audiences spellbound, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back for another boundary-pushing, unforgettable experience.
Whether you’ve seen him before or this is your first time, you won’t want to miss this electrifying blend of music, drag, and humor as Gabriel and Bijuriya shine together on stage.
Join us for an evening of artistry that promises to entertain, provoke, and inspire!
