We are the Queers of the Future. Join us as we anticipate our shared stories of love, intimacy and community survival in an imagined world. A world that enacts our future visions and highlights the subjectivity of Queer Utopias.
‘Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards’ – Willem Arondeus
With fascism on the rise, a group of Queers seek solace and safety and sanctuary and fun in Qtopia, their local gay bar. But how long can they stay in hiding? Should they fight back? – Qtopia features some absolute banging tunes, amazing lip-synch and poppin choreography, as well as vital and timely reminders of our history, present and future.
