PussyWolf

“Recognizing the power of the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world”
— Audre Lorde
 

PussyWolf is an interactive performance showcase exploring the erotic as healing. Intersecting the essence of P(;)ssy Magic + the feral nature of SheWolf, our wild selves call us home to reclaim our erotic power + in the process we have the opportunity to heal ourselves. We invite you to witness + participate in this journey of courageous expression.

Producers Frann Fatale + Gaea Lady curate live performance art to the theme Liberation inviting in a process of shedding, growing, healing, & freeing. We seek to honor a diverse, expressive cast of authentic voices + bodies to speak to the myriad of concepts around the revolution of breaking the cycle, exiting the spiral, reclaiming our belonging to who we truly are in this universe, + renewing our devotion to what matters most to us.

This show is envisioned to highlight performance arts such as burlesque, movement, spoken word, music, + poetry.

Come ready to cheer, support, tip, + celebrate our collective experience in this life to transform + grow through erotic performance art.

This year’s theme is LIBERATION…

What does liberation mean to you? How do you get free? How do you experience it in your body?

Frann Fatale (she/they) is the feral housewife that will burn your dinner then your bed. Her solo burlyQ debut was in 2021, after participating in Gaea Lady’s Pvssy Magic transformation through burlesque program. Before that, she shook a wing for a good thing with The Fly Honey Show — femme powered, queer punk, communal cabaret — since 2013.

She brings 25+ years of dance/movement experience to the stage + believes in the power of being seen.

Exploring the tantalizing intersections of burlesque, flow arts, + kink, her work finds the soulful embodiment of intimate alchemy. She traverses the paradoxes between sacred + profane, shadow + light, desire + fulfillment.

In 2018, she founded SheWolf Sacred, an artistic, intersectional, socially responsive community dedicated to honoring the embodied Divine Feminine.

Currently based in Chicago, she has performed at Untitled Supper Club, Bordel, The Newport Theater, Elastic Arts, Epiphany Center for the Arts, Eco Collective, Transamoeba Studios, The Art of Balance, The Ace Hotel, Labyrinth Arts, Full Moon Jam at various outdoor locations, Between the Trees Festival in Missouri, + 416 E Wabash in Indianapolis.

She is also the co-producer of PussyWolf with Gaea Lady, since 2021 + The Veil Between with Big Fine, since 2025 — both diverse community performance projects with therapeutic + transformational natures.
