CONGREGATIONAL is a new performance project from Birmingham cabaret artist Fatt Butcher, imagining the possibilities of choral music performance for nightclubs. Exploring the nightclub as a queer spiritual space and the transcendental powers of amyl nitrate, this R&D performance considers ritual, ceremony and the power of collective sound.

Heralded by critics as an ‘incredible vocal powerhouse’ (West End Best Friend) and ‘accelerating the decline of humanity’ by trolls on Twitter, Fatt has created a series of newly composed hymns for the dancefloor.

The piece is performed by a live choir of LGBTQ+ vocalists accompanied by keyboards and DJ. Composed by Fatt Butcher in collaboration with Nicky Harris & Tobre.

The project is in production and performance dates will be announced shortly.

Supported by Arts Council England with additional support from Fierce Festival, Cambridge Junction, B:Music & Wysing Arts Centre.
