LISTEN TO DISCO DYKES
Full audio now available to listen anywhere in the world.
If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a conspiratorial twinkle: the queer on the till at Dunnes, the wee butch working in the garage on Ards Main Street, that high femme languages assistant over from Germany where they get away with all sorts of things. A look exchanged in Gay, held a microsecond longer than an ordinary look, but long enough to tell all: see you there, see you in the dark on the dancefloor where you shed your Day Skin and are transformed.
Outburst is excited to present an audio time travelogue by Belfast-born screenwriter, film director and playwright Stacey Gregg (Mary & George, Bad Sisters, Scorch), that playfully and poetically invokes grassroots lesbian socialising in Belfast over the last 40 years.
Based on real experiences, these six intersecting fictional monologues bring to life hidden highs and lows of romancing, dancing and travelling to the City to find your chosen family, holding a mirror(ball) up to the resilience of Belfast dyke life.
DISCO DYKES will be available to experience for two weeks only from Friday 15 to Saturday 30 November, via the Outburst website and QR codes around the city centre.
