Though Bambi Lake has passed, her voice lives on. Join the Angels of Light as they reunite for an exciting and earth-shattering panel reflecting on their lives before and after — and on the legacy captured in their work.
In 1970, the genderbending, hippie, drag performance troupe the Cockettes split. Enter the Angels of Light. Active from 1970 to 1984, the Angels of Light performance troupe was a radical offshoot that fused theater, drag and communal living into a raw, confrontational art form. They rejected commercialism in favor of free performance, creating a glitter-soaked, boundary-breaking underground that pushed the limits of gender, art and collective life.
Join panelists Tahara, Beaver Bauer and Greg Cruikshank in conversation with August Bernadicou, alongside the enduring presence of Bambi Lake through her new book Devour Me Again (Nightboat Books, 2026).
Topics include communal living, free theater, art, counterculture, hippie ideals, alternative lifestyles, the gay liberation revolution and Bambi Lake.
