Nickel City Fifs — Kingston Theatre Alliance

On an ordinary evening at Zigs, Sudbury’s gay bar, a young queer thirsting for freedom and community embarks on a journey of initiation unlike any other. Under the auspices of Sainte Poésie, the crater’s protective spirit, the bar’s colorful fauna introduces him to their magical world, inviting him into eclectic, eccentric and absurd universes. Can they convince him to join in, or will they lose him to the siren song of the big city? Nickel City Fifs pays tribute to the struggles of the past and present in an atmosphere that’s campy, fantastical, irreverent, vulgar, caustic, demanding and a tad disturbing in places. A love letter to the region’s queer and francophone communities, this Sudbury epic gives voice to a voice rarely heard in French Ontario, let alone here in the North.
