Event description

THEY WILL BE KINGS is a new performance work about the politics of joy, power and gender. The show unpacks the contemporary stereotypes of trans & gender diversity, from the perspective of trans-masc. non-binary and lesbian Drag Kings.

THEY WILL BE KINGS will be radical celebration and demonstration of how a thriving, but often invisible queer community creates new futures for gender expression.

Bringing together some of Australia’s most exciting & critical trans activists, Drag King performers and award-winning artists, THEY WILL BE KINGS will work to rewrite the queer history of 21st Century Australia.
