Queer Powerpoint: Death by Powerpoint
17 January @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm AEDT

This intriguing site-specific collaboration sees two fiercely independent queer-run Sydney organisations – Life rites holistic end-of-life care and performance platform Queer PowerPoint – team up to explore life’s biggest unknown, one slide at a time.
Queer artists from across Sydney have completed residencies at Hurstville’s Life rites funeral home, going deep on all facets of life behind the scenes – the quirks, characters, contradictions and unexpected beauty of end-of-life care. Now they’ll present their findings in trademark Queer PowerPoint style, transforming Microsoft’s most mundane product into something profound, provocative and surprisingly poignant.
It’s a deep dive into death that’s approachable, deeply human, and refreshingly irreverent – shining light on an aspect of life we rarely discuss with curiosity, care, and disarming humour.
Don’t miss this unique immersive performance experience at one of Sydney’s last independent funeral homes, where we sit gently with discomfort and find the light in one of life’s last great taboos.
