“With more lip than Angelina Jolieâ€Queer Fuckers Circus (affectionately now as Q.F.C – or Queensland Football Club to the vernacular sensitive) was founded by Kate Reid and Loki Kaos Rickus. Their prolific vision is to engage a diverse demographic with their spin on the traditional circus experience.“Better that I should please one good man, than a thousand bad ones…â€The founding members of this dynamic company come from different cultures, sexes, mediums and disciplines. It is this fine amalgamation of orientation and handicaps that provides the foundation on which this new circus experience is built.“You know anger doesn’t really go with what your wearing; then again not much does â€The lifeblood of the show is the energetic combination of live music, dance, theatre and circus. To Q.F.C these four elements are as inextricably linked as Earth, Air, Water and Fire. One element cannot exist without the other, sustaining the symbiotic force that drives this inspired company.What can one expect from a night out with Q.F.C? Terribly glad you asked, Toots. You can expect the unexpected here- a land bound merman crooning Dusty Springfield (hello Priscilla!), jaw-dropping aerial feats (it’s raining men!) and a glittering pastiche of comedy, drag and physical theatre.QFC provides an artistic environment for emerging “queer fuckersâ€. The company is not politically based; rather it is designed to encourage artistic development and creativity through diversity, acceptance and experimentation. This forum will support the young and reticent to express themselves, facilitating the eventual demise of the “queer stigmaâ€. All walks of life are invited to share in the QFC experience.QFC welcomes you to the next evolution in contemporary theatre. A show camper than Dame Edna, with more costume changes than a Cher concert, QFC will be captivating audiences around Australia.
