My Queer Spiritual Entropy

A leafy, musical tale of a non-binary spirit having a human experience
* LIVE STREAM SESSION ADDED * Fri 7 Feb, 6pm - watch from home. Book here, tickets $12
You are welcomed to gather in a wise old forest to explore non-binary belonging. Inspired by Trans Ecology, this epic ensemble journey is framed within the Druid seasons. Let us enchant you with our original folk music, live-mixed animation and assemblage of clown characters. You will laugh, cry and identify as we uproot the gender-binary, with child-like play. This is queer theatre that doesn’t take sides but seeks unity. From the roots to the leaves - from our heads to our toes, we diversify perspectives through the unwavering force of humour, vulnerability and love.
Holly Rowan has previously performed a solo version of My Queer Spiritual Entropy in Melbourne Fringe 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024. Their one-human show has now flourished into an exciting ecosystem of collaborations, with fellow non-binary artists in Melbourne. The new imagining takes on a richer sensory tapestry, more transformative than ever. Live-streamed shows will be available to watch online from home.
