A playreading of Eddi Wilson’s solo show, Animal Medicine is presented as a part of Victoria Pride 2020, with the support of the Victoria Pride Society.
What do you get when you cross a Two-Spirit Métis agnostic, a career in veterinary medicine, and a pathological preoccupation with parasites?
Part biology lesson, part pet therapy session; Animal Medicine explores the experience of a self-diagnosed human. Creator/performer Eddi Wilson uses music, monologue and movement to dissect what they have learned from a life spent staring in the microscope.
About the artist:
Eddi Wilson is a Victoria based dancer, gender bender, shape shifter and performance artist. They are a member of Riot Grrrls Burlesque Revue, Atomic Vaudeville, co-founder of King Fling, and winner of the coveted local titles Showdown Champion and Mr. Gay Vancouver Island 2015. Their alter ego Eddi Licious is a familiar face in YYJ drag and burlesque venues, regularly MCs performance cabarets and was featured in CBC’s Canada’s a Drag.
Recent credits include: Atomic Vaudeville’s Rocky Horror Live, UNO Fest 2017, Wet Coast Presents: Buttlesque, Disney Deconstructed: A Feminist Burlesque Showcase, and The Hootenanny at Logan’s Tavern of the Damned.
