HONOUR is a multi-disciplinary work to be performed in public spaces which elevates and celebrates our Queer POC elders. The work will be a ceremony of love, recognition and an unmissable party, It will feature an epic soundtrack from some of the nation’s most iconic First Nations musicians as well as performances from legendary QTPOC dancers DJ’s, drag artists and trans activists. HONOUR will be a heartfelt celebration and honouring of our path finders and light bringers, the real royalty of our communities.

Commissioned by Midsumma Festival, the work is being piloted in 2024 and the full length work will be developed for premiere in Midsumma 2025

In everything we do, we acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal land and constantly learn from the wisdom of First Peoples.

Where we are and the history that precedes us informs how we work and how we move forward.
