McKerlie brought the show to Perth last year and told us how it was developed.

“I lived in London for a few years and while I was there I was part of an amazing production called ‘Puff Ball’ which was an LGBT youth circus project, it was just amazing.

“It was a real eye opener to be involved in something that had Arts Council support and was supporting young queer artists.  We worked together over a year, so you got to know everyone really well.

“It was the first time I heard the terms genderqueer and genderfluid and it got me thinking. I was writing a lot at the time and I realised a lot of my writing was about coming out and gender. So I put all that all together and made a show.” McKerlie said.

Scott-Patrick Mitchell saw the show in 2016 and described it as a “queer cavalcade of burlesque, poetry, cabaret, circus fun and gender fluidity.”
