In the past year alone, the vivacious multi-hyphenate synth-pop artist Lido Pimienta has scored a performance for the New York City Ballet and appeared on stages from Portugal to Portland to the Prairies. Now, the Polaris-winning polymath is hitting the small screen with a new CBC variety show, Lido TV, premiering this month. Like Pimienta herself, Lido TV radiates and rages with a knowing wink.

In Lido TV, Pimienta’s art-school eccentricities distort the public’s expectations like a funhouse mirror.
