An infamous 18th-century queen of France will be conjured up this weekend, decked out in Diamandis.

Fresh, young duo Ross Wirtanen and Tia Haraga have produced an encore performance of Marina Antoinette, an opulent dance piece that tells the story of Marie Antoinette through the dance-pop music of Marina and the Diamonds.

Marina Antoinette combines fashion, dance and film, including the talents of local drag sensation Tynomi Banks and emerging dance artist Alvin Collantes, among many. Do not miss the decadent dance and dark delights at this one-night-only performance!
