A razor-sharp trans thriller.

“Nervous? How could you not be?”

From the cutting-edge queer theatremakers that brought Melbourne The Inheritance, In The Club and The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven, comes a razor-sharp new collaboration with trans playwright Eva Rees. A taught psychological thriller with a twinge of body horror, Djuna toys with power, kink and gender politics between two strangers behind closed doors.

Djuna meets Marcus to play out a mutual fantasy. She’s definitely lying about her age, and he’s clearly in denial about who he is and what he wants.

Djuna and Marcus have more in common than they might admit: a desire to explore themselves in ways they can’t anywhere else. This night will be the beginning of a two-year affair that will leave neither of them unscathed.

Directed by Kitan Petkovski, with production design by Bethany J Fellows (In the Club) and sound and video by James Paul (Wake in Fright), Djuna offers a scintillating perspective on queer exploration, from a ground-breaking local company.
