Dublin Fringe Festival 2024 | September 7-12
The Pearse Centre
A solo Spoken Word drag performance celebrating queer resistance. It brings the urban legend of the 'Mothman' to life, using vibrant surrealist costuming to explore themes of queer alienation, metamorphosis, cross-border solidarity and homoerotic hot-hub encounters.This show invites you to face the pest in your closet. Is it hungry for light? More creature than human? Join this intimate, frenzied call to celebrate the unknowable within us all.Mothman was sighted in September 2024 at the Dublin Fringe Festival
