stefan fae & lady k | overfired
Like those guys with guitars they’ve been watching in bars, Stefan Fae and Lady K have been stomping their feet to a different beat. They've been poked and stoked, and now they’re OVERFIRED; better gird those loins for a rollicking dash and grab of steamy musical delights! Sinéad? Pulp? Eiffel 65? They’ve got them all. So batten down the hashtags there chicken; the revolution won’t happen on your newsfeed. The revolution will be... OVERFIRED !!!
First conceived of and developed at SPICEBAG, and various other Dublin-based cabaret spaces, OVERFIRED was also the product of a week-long development process at MAKE, under the mentorship of Peaches - who assisted in the composition of the original music for the show - and a work-in-progress showing as part of Live Collision International Festival. Premiering at Dublin Fringe Festival 2018, OVERFIRED was the inaugural winner of the Outburst Queer Fringe Award, facilitating a tour date in Belfast as part of Outburst Queer Arts Festival, 2018. In 2019, OVERFIRED was remounted for an acclaimed, week-long run at Project Arts Centre.

“beautiful intersectional look at queer Ireland […] radically queer work encouraging revolution and not assimilation.” - Scottee
“The queers are alright […] Righteous fury, reworked bangers and serious fun!” - Phillip McMahon (Artistic Director THISISPOPBABY)
