Queer as Flux

Sunday, May 30, 2021, 6:30 – 7:30pm Iconic queer anthems meet embodied storytelling in this journey of a boy – who “passed” as a woman – following the yellow brick road to top surgery and “T”. Queer as Flux is inspired by the political activism of historical drag queens and butch dykes as well as non-binary, shape-shifting storytellers, actors and healers. This world premiere solo show pays homage to our queer ancestors who paved the way (and not-so-queer folks who did their best). 2021 marks the 21st birthday of Stace’s ground-breaking solo work, when i was a boy, which premiered at Brisbane Powerhouse and went on to win the 2001 Sydney Mardi Gras Festival Award. Queer as Flux continues Stace’s creative embodiment of belonging in liminal spaces.
