This performance is a Drag Queen Storytelling Time show featuring Juanita Bang Bang, a campy comedy queen who explores Paraguay’s infamous number 108. Once used to discriminate against presumed homosexuals during Dictator Alfredo Stroessner’s regime, this number has been reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community as a symbol of pride. Through extravagant performances, dazzling outfits, and heartfelt storytelling, Juanita Bang Bang illuminates the authentic experiences and challenges of the LGBTQ+ community in Latin America, resonating deeply with many immigrants.

Audience Advisory: This performance contains references to historical LGBTQ+ discrimination and violence, including homophobic, and derogatory terms, to highlight efforts to reclaim symbols of past injustice.
