Fempaths: Transistor Radio Hour

Songs of trans rights and wrongs!

Fempaths: Transistor Radio Hour is a kaleidoscopic cabaret fantasia combining live music, storytelling, comedy and political performance. Fempath (Mari Moriarty) leads on vocals and piano, accompanied by a trans-led live band, transforming real voices from trans history and culture into original songs.

Drawing on verbatim material, personal experience and queer cabaret traditions Fempath creates an unruly, deeply human celebration of trans expression and community.

From “saints” to “slags” trans folk are never just one thing and neither is this cabaret!

Cello: Carolina Lopez Del-Nero (5th, 6th, 9th - 30th), Elspeth Mackay (7th, 8th)
Wind Instrumentalist: Sarah Buchanon (5th-8th, 27th-30th), Bebhinn Todd (9th-26th)
Set Design: Libby Paloma
Daughter of Water Music Supervisor: Karina Camile Parker
Fempath's radio head piece and gown stoning by: Matti Arti
