Dionysos Slain

DIONYSOS SLAIN is a drag king. After the unfortunate accident of seeing himself in the mirror immediately after birth, he has been living backwards in time. He enters each decade a misguided prophet, knowing the future like the back of his hand but completely ignorant of the past that is ever-unfolding before him. Dionysos is a decadent rake and a holy fool and a magical girl. He has to be the most carnally desired anachronism in the room. You have already eaten him, and he is coming to eat you.

He can be booked at dionysosslain@gmail.com ☙

Added a page for shows which I have co-produced (and hosted!). Revamp of the digital drag concept incoming? Maybe.

When I decided I wanted to do drag I didn't know anyone in my city in the scene and I couldn't find any open mic slots. Hence why I decided to be a Neocities king and put together immersive digital installation art drag pieces. The reason I haven't ended up working on these much is because I've now performed TWICE and I have another two shows upcoming! Catch me at Pudding Club in Bath on the 26th of March and at Man Up! heat 7 on May 3rd.

Instagram is UP site is MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL with PAGES and HYPERLINKS. Really cool digital project IN THE WORKS.

None of the links are live right now because I haven't made any of the other pages or social media accounts promised by this tantalising front page. I'm trying to make things at least navigable on mobile, but the multimedia website art which I really want to create here probably won't be phone friendly at all.
