Expect an evening of high-camp sass and art-house edge, with sensational performances by Violet Blonde, Mark Anthony, Lily Snatch Dragon, and Shanika Sunrise — alongside some international special guests. Throughout the night, enjoy DJ and soundtrack magic from Meme Gold.

Expect drag, burlesque, mischief, and a nod to art, identity, and bold expression — all within the Whitworth’s walls. As Yuki Kihara: Darwin in Paradise Camp challenges colonial narratives and celebrates Indigenous queer worlds, this cabaret will channel that same fearless spirit.

It’s not just a show — it’s a party in the gallery where mischief meets meaning.

Leave your inhibitions at the door, bring your crew and your courage, and be part of a night where art, drag, and music collide.
