In 1993, in the sweltering Darwin Amphitheatre, a young First Nations boy found himself swept away by the legendary Tina Turner. That life-changing evening would spark a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Blending storytelling, cabaret, and drag, TINA — A Tropical Love Story is a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of the rock icon. Enter the enchanting realm of First Nations drag performer Miss Ellaneous (AKA Ben Graetz), who shares deeply personal tales of growing up in Darwin and the profound impact of the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
This dazzling celebration of Darwin, drag, and Tina Turner is written, performed and directed by Graetz with special performances from the drag, First Nations, and queer performance scene.
This project is supported by BRG Productions and Auspicious Arts Projects.
