An electrifying fusion of Drag Kinging, contemporary performance and queer joy, WEREWOLF and Kings of Joy presents They Will Be Kings at The Loading Dock Theatre, as part of the 2025 Mardi Gras Festival, from 25 – 28 February.
They Will Be Kings is a new performance work about the politics of joy, power and gender. Directed by Kaz Therese, the show unpacks the contemporary stereotypes of trans & gender diversity, from the perspective of trans-masc. non-binary and lesbian Drag Kings.
They Will Be Kings will be a radical celebration and demonstration of how a thriving, but often invisible queer community creates new futures for gender expression.
Bringing together some of Australia’s most exciting & critical trans activists, drag king performers and award-winning artists, They Will Be Kings will work to rewrite the queer history of 21st Century Australia.
Director: Kaz Therese | Featuring: Danica Lani, Chris McAlister, Malaika Mfalme, Angel Tan, Bec Blake, Kaz Therese | Choreographer: Danica Lani | Writers: Kaz Therese & Danica Lani in collaboration with the cast
