Auspicious Arts and RISING Festival present:
ECLIPSE
Continuing my work with drag artists, I'm excited to work on ECLIPSE for RISING Festival with two incredible queer First Nations talents.
'Destroy the empire and dance among its remains.'
Presented by RISING Festival
A future-forward drag show that spans the ages—from the Big Bang(er) to the Paleocene, through the Beyoncé epoch and into the Blak queer future that awaits us all.
An epic battle between two of Naarm’s fiercest Kweens, CERULEAN and Stone Motherless Cold, with special guests from across the multi-verse. Once conjoined, now split in two, the Kweens have turned against each other and it’s nasty. They are prepared to destroy the empire to get to the crown.
Eclipse sees CERULEAN and Stone Motherless Cold rip off the crown, turn over the throne and drag the monarchy kicking and screaming into the new blak queer era of royal future history. Witness the Kweens behind the scenes in their daily lives as they adorn their traditional garb for the ultimate coronation ceremony.
Destroy the empire and dance among its remains.
