Amongst the murky depths, a grungy grotto appears to greet you. Reeds and smoke rise from the water to welcome you, waiting for you to arrive. The Motherless Collective presents ‘Creatures of the Blak Lagoon’, a Deadly Fringe party to get the season started. Taking place in the swampy marsh, you’re invited to join this murky mob for a night of freaky festive frivolities as we move, shake and groove the night away. With a cast of performers, artworks and DJ’s to get you in the mood, dress up and come along for who knows what might be lurking beneath the surface...

Dress code is: Southern Corroboree Frog, Deadly Snakes, Old Greg, Spooky Sequins, Monster Mash, Glitter Critter, Babadook, Toxic Colours, Shrek etc.

This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund, as part of Deadly Fringe.

About The Motherless Collective

The Motherless Collective (MoCo) is comprised of Stone Motherless Cold (Arrernte, Stone Turner, she/they/re), Cerulean (Meriam Mir, Caleb Thaiday, they/them) and Mora Money (Wiradjuri, Elijah Money, he/him).

Emerging from 2019, this drag collective is entirely First Nations Trans/Gender non-confirming; they have been reclaiming space throughout the ever expanding drag scene. Drag is in dire need of Blak queer representation, which MoCo provides while offering a wide range of refreshing acts. Each drag performer presents their own personal styles - an amalgamation of their art, history and Blak perspectives on popular culture.
