Cabaret : The Dancing Djinn

The Dancing Djinn returns to Montreal with a brand-new Pride edition. This queer Arab cabaret blends live music, belly dance, drag, and theatrical storytelling into an experience unlike anything seen before on a Canadian stage, centered on the rebirth of the Mukhannathun, third-gender artists from medieval Arabia and Al-Andalus. Every song and number is new, but the magical story remains the same: a desert traveler, a whispering lamp, and the djinn who changes her destiny. Presented in the intimate 1930s cabaret style of the Lion d’Or, the show takes place right in the heart of the venue.
