Cowboy Dreaming

Dive into the dreamscape of a solitary queer cowboy in a show that promises to be an out-of-this-world experience.

Cowboy Dreaming offers up intergalactic oddities, western fantasies and campy queer magic. Delve deep into the enigma of the cowboy, a complex character who all at once embodies a sex symbol, queer icon, solo adventurer, and superhero. With an ethereal atmosphere, an alien host and a bedazzled ensemble, Cowboy Dreaming employs a diverse range of artistic forms to both entertain and arouse the senses. Through the artistry of drag, puppetry, striptease, clowning, and cinematic elements, this show honours the emotional landscapes, miracles and natural disasters of queer life.
