RADICAL ACTS WITH RAMÓN: TOMFOOLERY, GRIEF & WHIMSY

RADICAL ACTS with Ramón: Tomfoolery, Grief and Whimsy

LOS ANGELES, CA — Are you devastated and struggling to figure out how to pull our society back from the brink? Do you need to laugh, grieve, and act — together, in community, with your whole body? Then this show is for you!

Puerto Rican drag king Ramón returns with his interactive new show, RADICAL ACTS: Tomfoolery, Grief & Whimsy!, creating a space to gather, connect, and strengthen our resilience through joyous rebellion.

Channel your rage into collective action, then let Ramón guide you through an epic glow-in-the-dark dance party where grief dissolves into whimsy. Expect games, clowning, catharsis, and connection that transform helplessness into empowerment and isolation into belonging.

In a world that profits from fear, division, and despair, Ramón invites audiences to choose something radical: joy, connection, and collective action.

Because when the world feels overwhelming, gathering together, laughing with one another, and caring for your fellow citizens are radical acts in themselves.

Starring Ramón and created by two-time Hollywood Fringe Award-winning performer Ruby Marez.

“In times like these, levity is not frivolous; it’s functional. Laughter, encouragement, and play help loosen what’s grown heavy, restore perspective, and keep us resourced enough to stay human in the midst of intensity.”
