Queerstories is raucous, radical, and then at times, sweetly heartwarming.
The popular live show is returning to Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday, November 16 for another evening of wildly funny and extremely honest stories from our LGBTIQ+ community.
The Queerstories talks invite audience members within and supporting the LGBTIQ community to be moved by an unexpected tale or two from some of Australia’s finest queer talent.
Hosted and developed by writer, director and performer Maeve Marsden the upcoming edition of Queerstories features a fresh lineup of storytellers.
Briefs Factory co-founder Fez Fa’anana, artist Samuel Leighton-Dore, writer Holly Zwalf, youth worker Shaun D’Souza, academic Dr Sandy O’Sullivan and disability activist Annabelle Oxley will all be sharing their stories at the Powerhouse event this month.
Presenting the third series of Queerstories at Brisbane Powerhouse, Maeve is looking forward to introducing new audiences to this compelling evening.
“The LGBTIQ+ community has been sharing stories for centuries, creating their own histories, disrupting conventional ideas about narrative, family and community,” Maeve said.
“There’s so much more to being queer than coming out and getting married.
“I’m so thrilled with the way audiences around the country have embraced Queerstories, coming together to celebrate our community and listen to each other’s stories.”
