Autin Dance Theatre - 'Queer Words'

Performed by an all-LGBTQ+ cast of 3 exceptional performers, Queer Words is a bold, provocative, and multi-disciplinary performance. Combining story-telling, spoken word, dance and physical theatre, Queer Words investigates toxic ideals and the crisis of masculinity. Brutally honest, darkly funny and at times controversial – Autin Dance Theatre is tackling a culture of violence and insecurities with eclectic sketches about personal stories around millennial queer experiences, gender roles, feminism, and homophobia. You’ll be sure to enjoy an epic and vibrant 45 minute outspoken slice of pride, activism, and courage.

Queer Words premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 at Greenside Venue – Forest Theatre. Queer Words is suitable for small scales venues, including comedy club settings and other unconventional performance spaces.
