POME is excited to be back with The Museum of Living Art! The night aims to showcase multiple performance art disciplines with a focus on sensual and erotic art delivered through burlesque, dance and cultural art forms, photography and multimedia, by artists of all genders and identifications.
The performers:
Katankin is the solo moniker of singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer Helen Catanchin. Formally trained as a jazz singer, Katankin was born from Helen’s desire to return to her singer-songwriter roots, and integrate more diverse musical and production elements into her works. Katankin is the phonetic spelling of her Russian surname (allowing its correct pronunciation for the first time in the singer’s life), and further symbolises this return to one’s roots, to one’s true self.
This emerging member of the drag king community will take you on a gender bender you'll never forget… Sleazy whilst all together cheesy, Jenitals is here to please, baby! Making his drag debut as part of Kong's King's 'One Hot Minute' segment less than a year ago, Jenitals has erected himself as a firm figure within the Melbourne drag scene. Recently joining the ranks of 'SMASH!' – a troupe of gender fluid and POC performers – as well hosting and producing his own show 'The Hirsuit of Happiness', the only way is up from here, bb's! Performances are guaranteed to be silly and sexy resulting in audience members feeling a mixture of amused and aroused. What can he say, he’s versatile!

This beacon of Canadian wonderment, this shimmering Aurora Borealis, has been described as the unwanted lovechild of Tempest Storm and Lucille Ball. She’s Australia’s classiest piece of bacon on stage, but off stage she smashes tinnies like a champ. Chief hobbies include: smothering herself in poutine, drinking maple syrup from a moose skull and playing hockey with her beaver (wink wink). Her favourite food? Well that’s pretty obvious. She is the one, the only… Miss Maple Rose.
