“The Pink Line offered me passage to an inner place in the actors’ and writers’ souls, and it echoed within an inner part of my own soul... It connected me to a community I know I belong to, and allowed me to realize that my struggles as a person of colour in a white-centric community may be unique, but they are also common.”

–Ahmed Danny Ramadan, Xtra Magazine

What’s it like being a person of colour and being queer in a community where whiteness and queerness are synonymous? Where do you fit when your black hair and brown body mark you out as alone in a sea of fairer limbs and blonde undercuts? What does chosen family look like, when no one in your chosen family looks like you, or can’t speak your language, or cook your food? How do you love when who you love is kinda… racist?

The Pink Line is a funny and probing new performance exploring racism in Vancouver’s queer community. Itl explores notions of home, feelings of isolation, and delves into our heartfelt and hilarious stories about our families as queer folks of colour. Prepare yourself for honesty, laughter and theatrical magic
