THE EXPERIENCE

ALOK joins PAM CUT for one night only! The Carte Blanche series at PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater is a bold, visionary program that hands the reins to multifaceted artists–inviting them to reimagine the cinematic experience through their own lens. Each event blends intimate conversation, guest curation, and unbound storytelling, giving audiences a rare chance to step inside the mind of a cultural trailblazer.

For this edition, we welcome ALOK–an internationally acclaimed poet, comedian, actor, and public speaker whose work spans stages, screens, and bestselling books like Beyond the Gender Binary. Known for their razor-sharp humor, poetic voice, and boundary-defying artistry, ALOK has brought their perspective to audiences in more than 40 countries, from sold-out comedy specials to Sundance premieres. Recognized with honors including the ACLU of Southern California Bill of Rights Award and CAPE’s Trailblazer Award, ALOK’s work continually expands how we think about identity, performance, and belonging.
