Concrete Playground

Genderfuck and genrefuck are hand-in-glittered palm for Taylor Mac's phenomenal Australian tease tour of The Ziggy Stardust Meets Tiny Tim Songbook OR Comparison is Violence. Following quick-fired comparisons of being Ziggy Stardust (he sings and wears glam) and Tiny Tim (he plays a ukulele) from around the world, drag performer Mac decided to give the punters what they were assuming they wanted.

The result is a cabaret performance that combines David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars with some of Tiny Tim's warbling greats.

Being Taylor Mac, it's more than a singalong jukebox night. Mac's work is cutting edge performance communication, using outlandish and beautiful methods to wrestle the dangerous myths of modern society to the ground. Blessed with an immense talent, for singing, speaking and reasoning, Mac never preaches his cause, but rather plants wisdom and courage through entertainment.

This will be one of the darlings of the Mardi Gras season, and for very good reason.
