Nightlife gatecrash, raucous cabaret and musical extravaganza; 0800 CUPID is a genre-defying queer countercultural opus from THISISPOPBABY that fizzes between performance and reality.
Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid Cupid, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating loss, crises, chaotic relationships and feeling the sweet sting of meaningful connection where she least
expects it.
0800 CUPID is an SOS response to the swelling social anxiety of a post-pandemic pre-apocalyptic world. A camp catalyst for reconnection; it’s a musical march into and back from the existential brink.
