CANNABIS! A VIPER VAUDEVILLE is a theatrical concert celebrating the cultural history of the plant through music, dance, and immersive design.
From the speakeasies of the Jazz Age to the Happenings of the ’60s – from the Mexican Revolution to the AIDS activism at the San Francisco Buyers Club – our time traveling tale invokes a tradition of rebel spaces, sites of music, healing, and resistance.
Inspired by Martin A. Lee’s book Smoke Signals and grounded in the Hip Hop tradition of the remix, this show welcomes people of all ages, cultures, musical tastes, and consumption habits.
Come for the stories. Stay for the party.
