Bi-curious George ‘Snail Trail’
May 9 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Bi-curious George is back and with a new show! Starting with a panel discussion on non-hetero normative zoology, humour and diversity in biology with George, Jazmeen Isa Qureshi, Connor Butler and Ross Brookes, we then invite you to explore the Museum, visit our bar and chat with our experts about specimens before returning to the lecture theatre for a WIP of George’s new show.
A slow, slimy exploration of trans-masculinity, hormones and being a pest. Celebrate soft bellies, sensuality, rotting and renewal in this drag-comedy that offers queer alternatives for anyone with a body.
Snail Trail is about living in a body that conflicts with the world around you. It’s about revelling in the sticky oozing slimy bits of existence and finding the joy in being repulsive. It’s a manifesto for the pests and the creepy crawlies among us. It’s an invitation to slow down and touch and taste and feel and rub all up against the world, snog with your entire soft body and make sure to leave a shimmery trail everywhere you go.
It’s about building our bodies into homes and repairing the cracks in our armour. It’s about compost and regrowth and vegetables. As this is a Work in Progress performance, we do not quite know what this show is about and you are invited to help find out.
