ARTEMIS: UTTER MESS
In a one hour, one enby show, Artemis unpacks their identity and a number of conceptual (and literal) boxes with the help of nine original songs.
Non-binary, Asexual, Biracial AND Neurodivergent? Utter Mess!
A show about labels and the difference between the words that confine us and the words that set us free.
ARTEMIS: UTTER MESS welcomes you to join Artemis Muñoz as they unpack their journey to self acceptance live on stage!
This show is for anyone who has ever wondered where they belong or been confused about living in a world that takes issue with words of identity and community but is keen to put us in the wrong boxes nonetheless. In this show, Artemis looks over their journey to self discovery as a non-binary, asexual, bi-racial and neurodivergent person through song, story and several excellent puns.
“It was truly amazing to see so many intersecting identities spoken and sung about with equal measures raw vulnerability, improvised comedy and polished skill (what a voice omg!) It was both entertaining and all too real… I had never seen my own experiences reflected so earnestly and accurately in art before.”
— Audience Review, La Mama Autumn 2022
“Thoughtful and thought provoking. Hilarious and sad at the same time, but so damn creative. I've seen some unboxing videos on YouTube but I've never seen anyone unbox their own character on stage, being 100% honest, while wearing a dinosaur onesie! Art has given us a look into their world. What an amazing person! A unique piece of art!”
— Audience Review, Melbourne Fringe 2019
“A must see for all ages and genders! An honest representation of what it’s like to be labelled and boxed in. You will laugh and possibly shed a tear. Artemis is a wonderful storyteller, beautiful singer and utterly likeable.”
