A multidisciplinary performance by Stewart Legere/The Accidental Mechanics Group, created in collaboration with queer artists from across the country, The Unfamiliar Everything is an experiment in communication across genre, distance, and time. It delves into the generative power of loneliness, the intricacies of queer spiritualities, and the radiant constellations of kinship. Through this extraordinary confluence of artists, the performance will weave story, sound, imagery and mythmaking into an experience that invites audiences into a shared space of wonder, connection, and possibility—opening a portal to something vast, intimate, and human.

Stewart Legere is a queer multidisciplinary artist from Punamu’kwati’jk/Dartmouth, where he lives with his partner, their cats, and a small flock of spirited chickens. He is the Associate Artistic Director of interdisciplinary contemporary performance company ZUPPA, and the Co-Artistic Director of queer performance ensemble The Accidental Mechanics Group. His work has been presented across the country and around the world. A writer, singer-songwriter, composer and performer, he finds great joy in hosting, running, walking, cooking, arguing, drinking wine, writing, and exploring the nooks and crannies of melancholy and other such things. His work celebrates performance, vulnerability, and the dismantling of personae. He thrives in the messy excitement of collaboration. He has very good friends.
