Devastating Beauty

Told through their signature style of song and prose poetry, gentlefemme cabaret queen Christopher Fieldus divulges the detail of an incendiary crisis of personality. Featuring music by the likes of Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus and The Killers, this queer, contemporary Narcissean epic promises to dazzle as deeply as it devastates.

Their voice "a glorious fusion of Kate Bush and James Blake" (Aussie Theatre), and with musical arrangements by Matt Hadgraft, in Devastating Beauty we see this unique vocal talent emerge with confidence, as we follow along their journey to discovering the truest expression of themselves. Having previously charmed audiences as Ms CeCe Rockefeller, writer, drag artist and dramaturg Christopher Fieldus has written three works of tragically romantic melodrama, presented variously at Melbourne Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Midsumma, and Sydney Mardi Gras.
