Event
Megafauna: a selection of biomimetic drag
With performances by Ezra Moth, Maljo Blu, Mx. Ology, and Amygdala
Presented in conjunction with Ezra Month’s immersive eco-art installation at Real Art Ways, Megafauna: a selection of biomimetic drag takes the sculptural and narrative elements of the exhibition and gathers them into a night of performance art.
Considering drag as an artistic medium in its own right, each of the drag performers will stage a spectacle inspired by biological entities and processes. They will sing songs and tell stories about the sea and the sky, about fungus and bacteria, about algae and fish, about birds and bugs – all layered with a healthy dose of camp and queerness.

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
Ezra Moth is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans both scientific curiosities and dreamlike utopias. Part mad scientist, part sculptor, and part drag persona, their work is inspired by the diversity, symbiosis, and queerness of nature.
Maljo Blu (they/she) is a creator, drag artist, and performer located in Brooklyn, New York. As a theatrical entertainer she uses movement, costume and projection to tell the story of her culture, past, and her fleeting attention span all wrapped up in one little spooky bow.
Mx. Ology is Brooklyn’s premiere celebrity dentist– clinical bombshell, body horror princess, Dadaist comedian, and cartoon come to life– her strong command of narrative draws audiences into a world of absurd, sleazy fantasy.
Amygdala is an interdimensional apparition that merges the hypocritical, the paradoxical, and the absurd into immersive multimedia drag performances. With the hair of a horse and a mouth of piano keys, she’s lived many lives, phasing into the mortal coil only for mischief and an ice cold Canada Dry.
