THE DRAGON SISTERS:
THE QUICK FLIGHT TOUR
August 25 - 26, 2022
The Quick Flight Tour is an evening of dynamic performance, live theater, and original music created, performed and directed by The Dragon Sisters. Dive into the sisters’ musical prophecies and creative aesthetic. This production explores themes of community, non-binary gender expression, and navigating the fine art world as queer black artists. It illustrates the many sides of The Dragon Sisters, classical dancers and rap artists; soulmates and collaborators; bearers of historical trauma and activists. The show is a three dimensional realization of their debut studio EP, The Fine Print, featuring band mates John Feliciano, David Frazier, and Kala. It is a love letter to their community and their sisterhood.
