Compost: The Cabaret | Up Next Festival 26

Friday 27th March

7:30pm

Part of a double bill

Compost: The Cabaret – the greatest show IN earth.

Welcome to Black Gold, the hottest underground nightclub hidden within a compost heap- where microbes and fungi go to bump, flirt and mingle. Meet an all star cast of filthy characters. Driven to decompose the toxic parts of society, breaking them down into life affirming, interconnected, nourishing networks. This continuous evolution of matter seeks to uncover the beautiful intersectional society that our souls yearn for.

Exploring themes of life, sex and death through a queer ecology lense through song, dance, drag and a big fat dirty disco. The festering ideals of patriarchy, heteronormativity and colonialism have been consumed and digested by society and are beginning to rot the very thing they sought to uphold. Now is the time for the queer mycelium to break them down, permanently alter their structure, establish new roots and feed on anything nutritious that
remains. Expect worms in drag.
