Z Space: 2023 Fresh Meat Festival of Trans and Queer performance

The wildly-popular FRESH MEAT FESTIVAL celebrates its first in-person festival in 3 years with an extravaganza of world premieres and an exciting new format.

This year, the festival expands to 6 performances featuring 3 different Programs…and the festival itself will take advantage of Z Space’s 13,000 square feet, with artists performing all around the building: on balconies, in the lobby, in quirky nooks and crannies, and on the mainstage. This ‘site-specific’ format means that tickets will be limited, to allow for smaller audiences to enjoy this ‘up-close and personal’ intimate site-specific format. KN95 masks will be provided and required.

Please note that KN95 Masks are required at all performances of The Fresh Meat Festival. Festival Staff will provide KN95 masks to everyone before they enter the building. This is different from Z Space’s current general policy for most other performances, where masking is not required; some artists in our space request that audiences stay masked. Each performance will have limited seating — to allow for more space between audience members. Please note also that there will be no concessions sold at these performances.
