DIRT CHURCH

Behold fringe cult classic Jessie Ngaio and her beloved rotbeasts in a filthy ceremony for the soul

Following the award-winning ‘Slutmonster and Friends’ and ‘Stickybeak’, Jessie Ngaio returns with a brand new boundary-pushing (aka perverted) theatre ritual.

Scientists tried to get us to care about our natural world by teaching us scary numbers. You guys didn’t listen. DIRT CHURCH takes another approach, asking whether the way forward all along was actually via punk ecosexual BDSM.

Come be awestruck by the sacred and the profane.

DIRT CHURCH is a liturgy gone wrong; a genre smash of poetry, pulsing movement, filthy original songs, and smutty projection art. For daily readings, we invite you to consider the worms. For prayers, our preachers unleash their bodies against a backdrop of club bangers.

Ceremonies layer like voices in a choir to deliver unto you a divine message; something truly transcendent. Fair warning though; if you submit, lie prostrate, get your knees dirty, this sermon might just take root and start to change you. Does not the filthy compost bring regeneration?

DIRT CHURCH takes place amongst an ornate altar of rubbish. Jessie is joined on stage by her faithful rotbeast, co-deviser Sian Horrocks, whose day job is spent as a deceased estate specialist. Together, their denomination is one founded by ecofeminist queer sapphics and true experts in decay.

Only Jessie and her compost cardinal can lead you through our current darkness. With her signature raw, no-holds-barred willingness to take audiences right to the edge and move through the trouble together, Jessie’s work is a balm for the soul
