ABOUT THE ARTIST
Theo Rhetical is a trans masc two spirit drag king of Peepeekisis Cree Nation and Métis ancestry. A storyteller by design, this sparkly enigma flits through time and space, taking enraptured audiences along with him on adventures full of feeling. He is always eager to discover new ways to celebrate the beauty of queerness, indigeneity, and the art of life.
Theo’s magic has sparkled across the unceded homelands unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, (“Vancouver” BC) since his debut at Pantry Drag in July of 2023. Notably, he was a finalist in the Birdhouse’s Drag Derby competition, won first place in Xana’s (of Canada’s Drag Race Season 5) Battle of the Spotlights competition, and was the special guest performer of Vancouver’s Non-Binary Super Group Enby 6 for the month of May in 2024.
Theo has since been adopted by drag kings Heathen & Genesis into the House of Eden, where he has been beautifully held in creating more meaningful art for the wonderful queer masses – and for his heart.
