At Times, Let Art Be a Balm.

At Others, A Bomb.

Vandellous is…

a theatrical Picasso of performance specialising in the profound and profane.

They co-founded the kink non-profit organization Brisbane Leather Pride and served as its first President, founded the fetish show Forbidden Fascinations and the theatre company Burning Bones Physical Theatre in Atlanta, and are an Associate Producer with Celestial Cabaret. 

A queer, nonbinary, disabled, and neurodivergent performer, they bring performance art, butoh, fire, fetish, and burlesque to stages everywhere. Lighting audiences aflame since 2010 across Canada, Australia, and the US, their cheek and intensity might delight, surprise, and unsettle - no matter where they keep their dirty laundry.

“Interrogating culturalism, domestic violence, consensual kink, and gender roles their work comes from a place of raw emotion, from a joy that can be found from acceptance to burning rage against the problematic and exclusionary practices within a so-called enlightened society.”

  • “Vandellous wants to burn the corruption of the ruling class away and leave everyone better for it."

  • "Each act is conducted with a sense of the bared soul behind it."

“They are self-possessed strength”
