Nikola Printz, mad as hell

NIKOLA PRINTZ: MARCH MADNESS

Red Pill or Blue Pill? This is Your Last Chance.

In this electrifying, genre-smashing spectacle, Nikola Printz isn’t just breaking the rules—they’re rewriting the playbook. In a world that has been going crazy, they’re torching the past and bringing the future screaming onto the stage. Classical meets chaos, cabaret collides with punk, and nothing is off-limits.

This event is where queer artists break down conventional boundaries when we need it most – where elegance meets anarchy, and the bravest voices in music quench our thirst for community and connection. Featuring fellow trans trailblazers Katherine Goforth and Polly Amber Ross, along with pianist Robert Mollicone and flutist Jessie Nucho, Printz leads an exhilarating descent into identity, reinvention, and musical rebellion.

Expect the unexpected: The Pixies. Elliot Smith. Kurt Weill. Nina Simone. Nina Hagen. A fever dream of sound and sensation.

March Madness is a bold, renegade musical event where everyone is welcome.
