Midnight Wolverine is Toronto’s newest midnight tease, trickster and shapeshifter. As an indigiqueer performer, they attempt to weave indigeneity into their performances, and use performance expression as a means of reclaiming and decolonizing sexuality as a two-spirit being. Nocturnal in nature, they are fierce and ready to tantalize. Watch out, they bite.

Confrontational, cryptic, and captivating: Cara de Melo is a burlesque performer that aims to enrapture and bewitch with honey-coated striptease
