Kat Evasco is an award winning queer Filipina American stand up comedienne, performing artist, playwright, writer, and producer living in San Francisco, CA. She holds a BA in Asian American Studies from San Francisco State University. == Works == Kat Evasco was the co-creator of the BAKLA SHOW I & II (2007, 2010), highlighting the experiences of the queer Filipino community. The show was named to reclaim the term bakla and to be inclusive of gay, lesbian, bisexual transgender and queer Filipino identities. Evasco performed “Stories of Queer Diaspora”, an independently run performance arts and literary series that celebrates how self-identified queer immigrant and 1st/2nd generation individuals unapologetically navigate their bodies, gender, culture, sexuality, and history at La Pena Cultural Center. Evasco has been performing stand-up comedy since 2007. Some of her skits include her coming out story in 2014 and body image issues in 2009. She has performed at venues including Bindlestiff Studio, the Haha Cafe, San Jose Improv, the Purple Onion, Napa Valley Opera House, Logan Center for the Arts, Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, and FringeArts. Evasco is most well known for ''Mommy, Dearest'' which was written by Kat and John Caldon and performed by Kat Evasco. This piece chronicles the coming out process of a lesbian daughter and a closeted lesbian mother, illustrating how the reclaiming of their sexuality challenges and strengthens their relationship. ''Mommy, Queerest'' contributes a voice that actively imparts the message of empowerment and inspires an intergenerational discourse among diverse communities. Kat’s use of comedy invites the audience to laugh at the darkest human conditions, while providing a critical lens through which to analyze the detrimental effects of homophobia in our society. The play stems from the belief that silence enables homophobia and perpetuates cycles of abuse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kat Evasco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
