Two Nights Out<\/em> is a visual EP featuring dynamic performances and original music created by The Dragon Sisters. This multimedia film is a deep dive into the sisters\u2019 musical prophecies and creative aesthetic. It explores themes of relationships, non-binary gender expression, and toxic masculinity. Two Nights Out<\/em> illustrates the many dualities of The Dragon Sisters as dance performers and rap artists; soulmates and collaborators; and bearers of historical trauma and activists. The piece is a three dimensional realization of their most recent music project, The Fine Print EP. It is a love letter to their community and their sisterhood.<\/p>\n The Friday, June 25th event will feature live ASL interpreters, live captioning, and Audio Description.<\/p>\n The Dragon Sisters (Issa & Odessa) are a multidisciplinary nightlife duo based in Brooklyn.
