SUMMARY:Cyrano
DESCRIPTION:Following the wild success of Calamity Jane\, Virginia Gay ups the ante with a joyous\, gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac\, packed with music\, wit and aching romance. Freely adapting and reimagining Edmond Rostand’s classic play\, Gay gives us a delightfully self-aware theatrical rom-com for our times. \nCyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith\, a charmer\, a ruthless fighter. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as any of the pretty boys\, because she’s deeply ashamed of something about herself. Enter Roxanne: brilliant\, beautiful Roxanne – a student of life\, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words\, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne doesn’t like Cyrano … not like that. She’s only got eyes for Yan: hot\, manly Yan; all-brawn-and-no-brains Yan\, who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. Probably shy\, right? Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it’s not Yan writing these perfect love scenes\, it’s Cyrano … \nWith director Sarah Goodes (Home\, I’m Darling) at the helm\, Virginia Gay (Vivid White\, The Beast) in the title role\, and a triumphant return to the stage after lockdown closed the production hours before opening in 2021\, this is the Cyrano we both need and deserve: a love letter to hope; to overcoming loneliness and isolation; to language and desire\, and the irrepressible magic of theatre; and to the hot mess that is the human heart.

SUMMARY:EDEN - Sunday 4 December 2022
DESCRIPTION:EDEN: anything is possible when we welcome you to this queer\, kink-friendly\, clothing optional rave at UBQ on Smith Street Collingwood.\nUBQ is a kooky former pan-Asian restaurant turned queer bar and has fast become one of Melbourne’s hottest destinations.\nFor EDEN\, we serve casual drinks with disco and funk vibes in the upstairs bar from 8pm. From 9:30pm we open a somewhat hidden underground space which you might not expect; it features a dark cruise and dance floor with dirty\, filthy techno music.

SUMMARY:Reparative Encounters with Law: Navigating Emotions in LGBTIQ Rights and Reforms
DESCRIPTION:Law reform debates about the rights of LGBTIQ people produce and crystallise emotions related to state regulation of sex\, gender\, and sexuality. In countries such as Australia\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States\, emotions have been central to repairing the stigma\, discrimination\, and inequality faced by LGBTIQ people. Pro-LGBTIQ policymakers and activists have challenged political disgust that sought to criminalise homosexuality and gender non-conformity\, harnessed anger to demand an end to the ‘conversion therapy’ of minors and promote bodily autonomy\, and encouraged collective expressions of compassion\, hope\, and love as a route towards greater social liberty\, equality\, and dignity. And yet\, increasing visibility of LGBTIQ people and recognition of LGBTIQ rights have prompted further emotional conflicts. We have witnessed emotional conflicts emerge through anxious and hostile socio-legal debates about sexual health education in schools\, trans healthcare\, conversion practices\, and drag performances. This talk will explore how emotions like pain\, anxiety\, anger\, hostility\, and shame structure conflicts over LGBTIQ rights and will consider how such emotions are refracted in law reforms aimed at repairing these conflicts. Law reform can help repair stigma\, inequality\, and discrimination against LGBTIQ people. However\, we need to navigate carefully through the emotional dynamics of law reform to evaluate the extent to which legal interventions secure the rights of LGBTIQ people. \nThis free event will be held at the University of Melbourne Parkville Campus and on Zoom. \nDr Senthorun Raj is an Associate Professor of Human Rights Law at Manchester Law School. Dr Raj’s academic work takes an affective approach to exploring the relationship between race\, gender\, sexuality\, law\, and culture. He is the author of Feeling Queer Jurisprudence: Injury\, Intimacy\, Identity (Routledge\, 2020) and the co-editor of Queer Judgments (Counterpress\, forthcoming). Dr Raj has previously worked as the Senior Policy Advisor for the NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby and was a Scholar in Residence at New York University’s Center for Human Rights and Global justice.

In the face of overlord Mummy and her ruling Daddies’ political clusterfuck\, Flung and the CDF must get revolutionary to save their nation. \nAfter a successful season at The Blue Room Theatre\, Marli Jupiter and Rhi Bryan are bringing ‘The State’ across to Naarm; a brutally hilarious interrogation into the role of activism\, protest and collective organisation in the face of failing governance at the end of capitalism. \nBook your tickets now to experience phallic puppetry\, glorious drag\, and biting comedy that dissects the state of our nation like never before.

SUMMARY:The State
DESCRIPTION:Democracy is falling apart at the seams.\nFour states are ruled by foppish\, vivacious drag-king Daddies\, who work under the thumb of the elusive ‘Mummy’.\nThis State’s mining equipment is existentially depressed\,\nWhich State is injecting their fish with oestrogen?\nThat State charges tolls for every step you take\,\nWhat State just approved a leg-breaking initiative to fill hospitals…\nLook at the state of this place! \nA young optimist named Flung embarks on a nationwide quest: handing out flyers isn’t getting anything done\, Flung’s mother is nowhere to be found\, and things are only getting worse by the minute. Through a series of increasingly absurd catastrophes\, Flung teams up with a group of radical leftists called the Common Dog Fucks (CDF) to help. In the face of overlord Mummy and her ruling Daddies’ political clusterfuck\, Flung and the CDF must get revolutionary to save their nation. \nAfter a successful season at The Blue Room Theatre\, Marli Jupiter and Rhi Bryan are bringing ‘The State’ across to Naarm; a brutally hilarious interrogation into the role of activism\, protest and collective organisation in the face of failing governance at the end of capitalism. \nBook your tickets now to experience phallic puppetry\, glorious drag\, and biting comedy that dissects the state of our nation like never before.
