This September, Resurge Chicago: Queer Performance Uprising takes over Co-Prosperity in Bridgeport for two nights of radical, experimental performance by queer and trans artists.

On September 5–6, 2025, the Resurge festival gathers some of the city’s most daring performers in movement, ritual, drag, installation, storytelling, and audience-engaged work that suggests as fascist racist homophobic empire gets bolder and more brazen, we can too. 

This year’s lineup includes:

Efrén Arcoíris · Kezia Waters · Ále Campos · Sungjae Lee · Amari Amai · Camila Arévalo · Hesam Salehbeig · Erika Ordosgoitti · Rosé Hernandez
