Interview with The Fight Magazine
“And thus, the gut-busting, mind-opening and often tear-jerking Red and Boiling was conceived—narrated by Wind’s drag alter-ego, Hasadick.”
The barrier-smashing performance incorporates real-life interviews, drag kings, Jewish matrons, and shadow puppetry—sound unheard of? Because it is. Through a delicate balance of comedy and sobriety, Noga and Josh create a conversational experience that serves to meet a largely silent need.
“We were both struggling because we couldn’t find anything that we found represented who we were,” explains Rivas, a non-binary yoga instructor, actor and CalArts alum. The pair met in school while studying acting and took up the task of writing a joint monologue. For Wind, director, actor, and queer activist from Jerusalem: “I felt like I couldn’t find a story that represents where I am today, which is being out for 10 years and still having things that I deal with and struggle with.” I thought, “if this doesn’t exist, I guess I have to make it.”

The List review of Red and Boiling ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Red and Boiling marries its humour, seriousness and social responsibility so precisely that it allows the multiple voices to speak truth that will educate and entertain those of any gender identity and none.”
Queerness – claimed by many but often a shorthand for diverse identities with a touch of hedonism – is explicitly expressed throughout this double-drag adventure into the experience of queer womyn that has time for cheeky fun and serious reflection on hardships and prejudice. Joyfully hosted by Hasadick and Rosay, Red and Boiling features a selection of verbatim conversations taken from the company's massive collection, available online and covering a gamut of women's experience.

the striking duo forms a comedic partnership that balances the light with the dark and the sad with the humorous.
