Co-created by singular diva Mama Alto and fearless cabaret volcano Maude Davey, these artists will seduce and transport you with their stories of empowerment, joy and beauty. Music, dance, comedy, burlesque, circus, poetry and much that defies any label will come together to form a cocktail that goes straight to the head. Emerging talents rub shoulders with some of our stage greats and familiar faces show a side you’ve never seen. Humming beneath the laughter and delight is a sincerity and optimism that allows for real change and acknowledges the complex, messy humanity we all share.
