Featured Performers
Past drag alter-egos Djörk Björgson and Juanita Del Fuego have cluttered the stages of Phoenix Entertainment, Ignition Festival, and various seedy warehouse parties.
Tonight, they bring you a bilingual, quadrupedal, telenovela puppet duet between Ali Gatorea (the crocodile) and Cacahuate Salvaje (the jaguar). "The dueling perras of la jungla."
They are the 2021 New Zealand National and Auckland Regional Slam Champion, and in 2023, they completed their final year of study, becoming an NZSL interpreter. Their work focuses on the fusion of poetry and prose, with a focus on queer identity, mental health, and accessibility. Their second show, Chrome Dome and Schizo, was performed to sell-out crowds in 2022 and is set for a return season in 2025.
Originally from the UK, Keira fuses her athletic strength with a deep connection to rhythm, crafting mesmerising routines. Dolly, formerly known as Dani VR, infuses her performances with theatrical flair and compelling storytelling, drawing the audience into her artistic world.
With a shared passion for bass music, their unique synergy on stage pushes the boundaries of aerial and flow arts, delivering a powerful experience worth watching.
The voice to me is a tool for meditation that allows us to transmute joy, pain and experience into art. I’ll be singing a mix of originals and covers with an acoustic and relaxed feel.
I love animals and giggling and especially dancing as much as I can. I’m a singer with experience in choirs, bands and busking, motivated by how sound connects us and evokes emotion.
