Songs of Theys

Extravagant robes dripped in gold, sacramental wine and putting other people’s bodies in your mouth…Mass or a Gay Bar? 

This show doesn’t just blur the lines between the two; it sticks them in a blender and serves the audience a delicious smoothie that leaves them feeling revitalised, energised and ready to dismantle the patriarchy. Queer theatre never looked so ethereal.

A queer mass with choral singing at the centre, readings from the gospel according to Lady Gaga and a menu that serves only the body ody ody of Christ, this is a service not to be missed.

Songs of Theys was first performed as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival 2023, with one week of sold out shows and returning audience.
