MONSTER is a comedy cabaret written and performed by Florian Wild, drag cabaret alter-ego of trans and queer man, Louie Dalzell, and directed and accompanied on piano by Oliver Ayres. The show addresses the question ‘I’m a trans man, a drag artist, and a teacher. Am I the monster?’
They plan to tour Adelaide Fringe in Feb/March 2024 with the aim of connecting with a wider audience. The show at its core provides queer and trans people an opportunity to connect with their community and see their stories represented on stage. The show also provides allies to the queer community insight into the experiences of trans men, particularly around coming out, workplace dynamics and visibility, and the absurdities within anti-trans rhetoric. Louie has received this Small Grant in support of the show and its upcoming tour.
