Here for the Queers Shibari Rope Bondage Performance Night 2025

Join us for a Shibari performance night to be remembered!

There will be three performances with a brief intermission between each.

1) A & B

2) C & D

3) Kasumi Hourai & Kisa

Kasumi's concept, style and variation have very strong characteristics of traditional Japanese beauty and culture, which receives profound influence from the upbringing of ikebana/kadō (flower arrangement), sadō/chadō (tea ceremony) and fine kimono. She brings a refined, haunting aesthetic, combining elements of Japanese culture with Kinbaku as kyokuero (eroticism) and ku (suffering).

Kisa, is a Melbourne based, half-Japanese Shibari artist, who discovered her love for rope in 2020. She uses Shibari to express her love of vulnerability and connection. For Kisa, the art of rope becomes both a personal and cultural expression, drawing audiences into her journey of relinquishing control and embracing the beauty of suffering.
