ColourVision

Born during the age of digital quarantine drag to keep the POC drag community alive, Noah Lott's passion project ColourVision has evolved into a highly anticipated annual multimedia theatre drag experience! The fight for visibility, inclusivity and equity is one not unfamiliar to BIPOC artists within performance spaces. ColourVision has not only filled the gaps by platforming performers of all ethnicities and styles in the spotlight but has caused a ripple effect throughout the scene. Today the Victoria Drag scene is blessed to have established POC icons of the community as well as new up and coming starlets sprouting year round. ColourVision is more than a show — it’s a revolution. What began as a hope for POC drag has transformed into a yearly beacon of flamboyant expression, melanated empowerment, and elevated artistry. Each year, the stage ignites with the voices of those long pushed to the margins — and this is just the beginning. Welcome to the future of drag. Welcome to ColourVision! About the Artists Your Host: Sylvester Stalletto has been packing a punch while flaunting his heavy hitting tricks, commanding stage presence, and Latinx roots! Gender-bending, boobless and bearded, this Trans Drag King has dominated the West Coast of Canada since 2022 as the powerhouse performer, charming host, hard working producer and underdog you'll always be rooting for. Some notable work of his includes: performing at Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival, featuring in 2 BBNO$ music videos “Boom” & “NSFW”, inheriting the 1st all BIPOC drag show ColourVision with Intrepid Theatre, taking lead as Shade Burlesque Festival’s Promotions & Marketing Coordinator & creating & producing the popular monthly drag, burlesque and pole dancing show Lust Lounge and Talent Tuesday at gay bar Friends of Dorothy. Sylvester's culture and decolonizing practices shared to him by his mentors has always informed him to advocate for marginalized audiences and performers along the way. Sylvester has been handed the torch of producing ColourVision and he is thrilled to propel its evolution and support BIPOC artists on this scale for years to come!

Scratch Night

A night of brand-new experiments by local queer performers. Scratch Nights - staples in UK performance scenes - allow audience members to be embedded into how artists develop new works. Each performer is given 15 minutes of stage time with just two requirements:1) A performance. 2) A discussion with the audience. Hosted by Louie Lang Norman. Scratch artists to be announced! When Louie first started making new performance work in Victoria, he asked around: “Hey, where is the local scratch night? I’d love to get some audience feedback on an idea I’m playing with!” He received unanimously blank looks. Scratch nights are low pressure environments in which artists are encouraged to experiment, play, take risks, and try new material in front of an audience of fellow performers and performing arts lovers. Want to see the earliest stages of new local works in development? Want to support experimental work where failure is celebrated just as much as success? Scratch Night is for you! Four artists come prepared with a performance to share, and questions to ask the audience after. Audiences come prepared with a spirit of curiosity and a desire to be part of the creative process. Low tech, low pressure, highly generative. From emerging cabaret acts, to new script readings, to interdisciplinary experiments and beyond, a Scratch Night is a testing ground that supports artists in the creation of new work while valuing the importance of audience feedback as part of that process. Feedback is delivered by questions exchanged live between the artists and the audience, or can be sent anonymously afterwards via online form. About the Artists Louie Lang Norman (he/him) is a trans performance artist, drag queen and occasional independent scholar based on unceded Lekwugen Territory, Victoria BC. He was Intrepid Theatre’s OUTstages 2024 artist in residence, where he remounted his solo show A Car Crash, and in 2025 his drag persona - Ket Bush - co-created experimental drag-theatre show Mouthfull with collaborator Vivian Vanderpuss. He has been presenting work at performance festivals in the UK and Canada since 2015 (including SPILL International Festival of Performance, UK; Runnymede International Literary Festival, UK; DISKURS, Germany; INKONST, Sweden; OUTstages, Canada), and his most recently published academic work - on Fantheatre - can be found in Theatre Fandom: Engaged Audiences in the Twenty-First Century (University of Iowa Press, 2025). Louie has a BA in Performance Arts (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) and a MA in Poetic Practice (Royal Holloway). Stay tuned for the artist lineup!
