From August 20 to 23, the Breckenridge Festival of International Arts will be bringing downtown Breckenridge drag performances, live music and art installations, ranging from up-close encounters with gigantic birds to peaceful \u201clistening lounges.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s keynote performance will feature Pattie Gonia, a performer whose drag persona advocates for climate action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breckenridge Creative Arts describes the keynote as \u201cpart inspiring talk, part drag performance and part dance party.\u201d Pattie Gonia will be joined by DJ Matt Suave and fellow drag performer LeeLee.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Also included in the festival\u2019s lineup is Close-Act Theater\u2019s \u201cBlue Birds\u201d \u2014 an exhibit in which actors transform into birds that tower over nine feet tall \u2014 and the \u201cInner Harmony Listening Lounge,\u201d designed by Laurie Shapiro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSurrounded by colorful hand-painted tunnel and dome structures that shift with the changing light throughout the day, visitors are invited to pause, reflect and explore through guided audio experiences curated by Jasmine Leslie Ross,\u201d says BreckCreate\u2019s description of Shapiro\u2019s installation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
