0800 CUPID by Emer Dineen

Presented by THISISPOPBABY

Nightlife gatecrash, raucous cabaret and musical extravaganza; 0800 CUPID is a genre-defying queer countercultural opus from THISISPOPBABY that fizzes between performance and reality.

In 0800 CUPID, Cork-born cabaret star, writer, house music vocalist and actor Emer Dineen teams up with award-winning playwright and director Phillip McMahon to create a form busting, epic and unforgettable musical odyssey through a couple of very strange years in Emer’s life. Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid ‘Cupid’, Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm.

Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating loss, crises, chaotic relationships and feeling the sweet sting of meaningful connection where she least expects it. https://www.thisispopbaby.com/show-listing/0800-cupid
