THE RESURRECTION FILES

In the year 3030, Artificial Intelligence governs the planet. Emotion deleted. Culture archived.

Drag — erased under the Drag Eradication Protocol.

Or so the system believed.

Hidden inside a forbidden digital archive known as The Glam Vault, drag history survives.

A rogue archival AI calling herself M.I.L.F. 9000 — Mechanised Intelligence for Legendary Femmes — finds it.

She begins opening the Resurrection Files. The first file to awaken: Madones — the singular drag diva, glamour and shade incarnate.

The Resurrection Files is a cinematic drag theatre production where pop icons, cabaret rebellion, and futuristic spectacle collide.

Expect:

· A two-act spectacle with a full company, M.I.L.F. 9000’s narration, and one electric finale

· Iconic pop and cabaret anthems reimagined

· High-impact choreography and immersive AV visuals

· Glamour, excess, and unapologetic camp

· A powerful narrative of queer survival and rebirth

· A guest runway moment from Cape Town’s own local drag performers

This is not a club night.

This is a staged Resurrection.

Bold. Emotional. Visually striking.

And at the end of everything — showbiz never dies.

A SHOW FOR EVERYONE

Staged in the heart of Cape Town in February 2027, The Resurrection Files is built for anyone who loves spectacle, story, and a great night out — locals and visitors alike. You don’t need to belong to any particular community to be swept up in it; you just need to love a great show.

And every ticket helps fund real, life-saving HIV care through AidsArk.

TICKET OPTIONS:

PATRON OF THE ARTS — R1,250

The best seat in the house and your name in the story.

Patron tickets exist because great theatre doesn’t happen without people who believe in it before the curtain rises.

A small number of seats at every performance are reserved for those who want to do more than attend — they want to be part of the reason this show exists.

As a Patron you receive reserved Royal Circle seating, a welcome glass of Genevieve MCC on arrival, your name in the digital programme, and a personal acknowledgement from the stage.

Only 29 available per performance. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

This is for the ones who show up properly.

VIP DRAG ROYALTY PASS — R450

The full royal treatment. Prime ground floor seating with a welcome glass of Genevieve MCC on arrival.

PREMIUM GLITCH GLAMOUR — R350

Reserved seating with the best sightlines for every glitch and reveal.

STANDARD REBOOT — R200

Full access to the show.

Also available:

Glitch Glam Enamel Pin Set (R75, net proceeds to AidsArk) — added at checkout, collected at the merch table on the night.

PRIDE WITH PURPOSE — SUPPORTING AIDSARK

The Resurrection Files is a Resurrection Productions original, created and produced by Liam Du Preez Paterson. It raises funds for AidsArk (Charity No. 1093966), funding home-based HIV care in Khayelitsha through our frontline partner Baphumelele.
