An evening of dancing, tea and horoscopes.

Maxx Gentleman presented an uncomfortable exploration of Australiana convict heritage in a Queer Horror context within a kitchen disco environment set to a Donna Summer and Sonic Youth infused live soundrack.

Maxx incorporated elements of previous performances KITCHEN DISCO HOME INVASION and SOUNDTRACK to create [sombre music fades out], complete with sing’alongs, trauma-dotes and horoscopes that merge sculpture, painting, performance and video.

This event launched their work with Vivid Projects that took place as part of the Vivid Lab programme through 2023 – 24. 

Maxx Gentleman is a Birmingham based non-binary drag DJ and stand-up performer. They occasionally do a very average and messy lip sync, but more often than not just throw themselves around the dance floor in a Five Rhythms dance haze.
