A new play on the reckless escapades of a transmasc with a god complex and his first time on country
Have a wild, raunchy time with this new comedy work written and performed by Cynda Beare, with the help of the QUAKtheatre collective.
He chose the name Apollo because he is as hot as the sun. Lost in a reckless hypersexual haze, blending into big city Naarm, locking up memories of a blurry Queensland childhood, what happens when this young brotherboy goes to country for the first time and confronts what really matters?
This poetic romp asks the questions: Are you allowed to be a man-hating trans man? Do twenty-three year olds already know everything? Are you still blak if you've never used keens curry powder? Is having heaps and heaps of really depraved sex a healthy way to distract from the crippling weight of all this grief?
Enjoy rainforest poetry, burlesque, and a whole lot of laughs in this sexy blak take on coming of age.
The development of this project was supported by La Mama Theatre's 2025 Residency Program and Melbourne Theatre Company's Cybec Electric.
Presented by Melbourne Fringe
Written by Cynda Jace Beare
Performed by Cynda Jace Beare & Gabrielle Fallen
