19 – 21 September 2025
You ready, you hot brown honey you?
Armed with only a microphone and a killer pair of heels, Māori shapeshifter Daley Rangi examines the spectrum of queer joy and violence with love and rage, holding a solidary flame in a blistering call to action. Takatāpui shines a light on the shadowy events of just one night among many. Grappling with the infinities of self-expression, Rangi unearths the complexities of identity with welcoming levity and candour. How do microaggressions turn macro? Contested memories unspool, vividly conjured by a compelling combination of visceral lyricism, cavernous soundscapes, disco outbreaks, and macabre humour. An electrifying storm of story and sound, this is transformative storytelling to haunt and to heal. This work was part of Sydney Fringe’s Made in Sydney program for 2025.
