The Beacon – Lister Park
The Cocoa Butter Club
An unforgettable night of cabaret, where rhythm met resistance.
The Cocoa Butter Club decolonised and moisturised The Beacon by showcasing and celebrating queer performers of colour!
The Cocoa Butter Club are heading somewhere unknown… Home.
The noise was noted, the opinions were obtuse, and the debates about who gets to belong on this island… dry and dusty. The only answer – being brave enough to build the world we want to experience. Black, Queer, and unapologetically Cocoa Butter, of course.
This was an unforgettable night of cabaret, where rhythm met resistance. This wasn’t escape. It was elevation.
The Cocoa Butter Club is an award winning performance company, showcasing and celebrating performers of colour. They brought this high octane evening of cabaret to The Beacon featuring burlesque, drag, spoken word, circus and much more.
