Overview

Discovering Brisbane's queer history is easy at this year's MELT. Just head downstairs to Brisbane Powerhouse's Turbine Studio, walk through the red velvet curtains, enter the cabaret club setup and get ready for an immersive theatre show. Not only pondering the past, but the present and future also, La Silhouette brings the city's LGBTIQ+ scene to the stage by focusing on eight stories of people who've been forced to suffer in years gone by.

Running from Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, June 30, The Sui Ensemble's production spends time in a drag queen's dressing room, hearing her secrets; chatting to the police, trying to help an unwell doorman; and in VIP spaces where drinks and games fly freely. The list goes on, in a show that's equally important, eye-opening and entertaining.
