Glamour in the Dark By Martha Estrada Baca

Horror, drag, and outer space might seem like an unlikely combination, but in ‘Fear Fables’, they merge into something both eerie and electrifying. The anthology-style show takes audiences into the cosmos, guided by the commanding and charismatic narrator Emmonia. What follows is a kaleidoscope of performance art, dance, and theatrical spectacle. The structure of ‘Fear Fables’ is simple yet effective: a series of short horror tales, each staged with its own unique aesthetic and style, threaded together by Emmonia’s storytelling. This anthology format keeps the pacing snappy and allows for a wide range of styles, from high-glam drag performances to choreography that leans into the grotesque. Emmonia anchors the evening with wit and presence, balancing theatricality with sly humour. As a narrator, she pulls the audience deeper into each fable, her flair providing levity even as the stories turn chilling. It was an unforgettable performance and show, I could not recommend it more if you enjoy horror or drag.
