The Surgery is a unique performance that explores gender-affirming healthcare through the lens of theatre. Trans creator and electronic musician Nathalie FitzSimons engages a willing audience volunteer, prompting an examination of the concept of surgery itself. Accompanying this performance is the improv troupe Butch Femme Fatale, delivering a senselessly serious and entertainingly improvised noir experience. Scheduled to take place at CoHo Theatre, this show is part of the Stage Fright Festival, a celebration of queer horror theatre.
