​OY SLAY!
JEWISH DRAG TIME TRAVEL

How might our queer and Jewish ancestors guide us today, if we could ask them how to build a more joyful, liberated future? In a world where both Jewish and queer communities face erasure, persecution, and struggles--how do we honour those who came before us while dreaming boldly ahead? And what if the answers are hidden in glitter, song, and perfectly timed lip-syncs?

Enter Pickle Lane: A drag artist, cultural expert, and Jewish Space Laser slinger extraordinaire. They will be your guide in their time-travelling machine, taking you on a dazzling journey through the hidden histories and fabulous futures of Jewish drag.​

Through innovative multimedia visuals, tongue-in-cheek historical reenactments, drag, cabaret, live vocals, and theatrical storytelling, Pickle takes audiences on a journey that is at once educational, entertaining, and emotionally resonant.
From cross-dressing Purim players to queer icons of Yiddish theatre and the wild antics of Tunisian Cabaret, this genre-bending show is both an archival act and a visionary leap—journeying towards speculative queer Jewish futures.
​
More than a performance, this project is a ritual of remembrance and imagination: a queer-Jewish time machine fueled by sequins, stories, and stubborn hope. It asks how performance can be a tool of healing and how art can help us inherit the courage of those who dared to be different.
At a moment when both queer and Jewish communities are navigating rising threats and deepening questions of identity, this work insists on joy as resistance, storytelling as survival, and drag as a sacred form of cultural continuity.

Join drag artist Pickle Lane on a time-traveling odyssey through the hidden histories and fabulous futures of Jewish Drag!
Blending storytelling, live performance, and historical exploration, the show celebrates the legacy of gender-bending Jewish artists across generations, reimagining their worlds and reviving their voices. Paying homage to these iconic artists while conjuring their legacies, Pickle Lane brings the past to life through drag arts, burlesque, cabaret, live vocals, and spoken word.
Based on their acclaimed lecture of the same name, this Judeo-futurist, genre-bending show fuses education and performance, laced with heaps of wit, heart and radical joy.​

​THE ESCAPE ACT
A Holocaust Memoir

A touring  one-person show based on the life of Irene Danner. A Jewish acrobat, Irene witnessed the rise of the Nazi Party as a teenager and survived the Holocaust hiding at a German circus.
In this feat of dynamic physical storytelling, using puppetry, aerial acrobatics & rare archival footage, Stav Meishar, a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, charts Irene's life from youth to epic escape, and the budding of a new circus family.
Blending past and present through the intertwining voices of storyteller and heroine; this stirring work is a powerful reminder of the positive impact courageous acts can have for generations to come.
The Escape Act is the accumulating result of over seven years of historic research, challenging audiences to examine questions of empathy, antisemitism and multigenerational-trauma.
