Existence Is Resistance

When oppression hits close to home, resistance sings back. The New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus unleashes “Existence Is Resistance,” a Pride concert turned political rally, where every note and step is a declaration of survival. Hosted by drag queen Vanessa Patricks, the show blends powerful anthems of authenticity and belonging into a visceral, multi-sensory experience. Artistic director Aaron Howe insists: just being yourself is a radical act — especially now. With 80+ performers, including trans men and cis women, the chorus turns Albuquerque and Santa Fe into stages of solidarity, proving that even in “safe” states, queer lives are political. This isn’t just music — it’s a movement, one note at a time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
