San Francisco’s first and only CircusDragBurlesque festival, “Frolic,” returned for its second year, after a sold-out run last year had assured a regular place in CounterPULSE’s programming. “Frolic” was a whirlwind of queer burlesque, drag queens, and spectacular circus – all for a good cause: helping CounterPULSE support cutting-edge artists. “When we set out to create ‘Frolic’ last year, we thought it would be fantastic to put together a hybrid production – one that could showcase the diverse talents of some amazing underground performance artists,” said Jessica Robinson, executive director of CounterPULSE. “We chose several artists from each genre – circus, drag, and burlesque – and the audience response was amazing!” As it was this year when “Frolic” played the weekend of Dec. 14 at the CounterPULSE studio.
