3—4 Sep
Brown Church
Brisbane Festival, CPL - Choice, Passion, Life and The Tivoli present
Queer-Glory. Op-Shop-Rich. Dance.
World Premiere
Where do we go when culture and country is stripped off only to leave us with the risks of our own isolation? How many rejected swipe-rights, legislations of erasure and glitter-less, terror-filled nights before you arrive at your truth?
Come forth and be revered.
Brown Church is a theatrical spectacle as served by Meanjin-based revolution, The Naavikaran Collective. At this holy, gay altar we will witness the journeys of displacement, queer liberation and the euphoria of culture as explored through poetry, music and dance. It centres queerness as a central faith, bringing out the exuberant need to realise colonisation in order to destroy it.
This work is prayer. It is a call for community. It is the future grounded in reality.
Wear your Sunday best, fanciest garb and most iconic fit. Arrive early and mingle for the pre-show festivities.
Welcome to Brown Church. It’s time to come home.

A visionary prayer for the queer and gender non-binary people of colour – and really everyone who might still feel under identified in the evolving acronym: LGBTIQP+.
