Some of us are afraid of dancing. Some of us don’t like ABBA. Some of us are old and out of fashion. Some of us have never been in fashion. Some of us just don’t get drag. Some of us are too femme. Some of us are too serious. Some of us don’t ‘love the nightlife’.

Galvanised by a life of being a Bad Queer, Meta is on a mission to become a Good Queer, and is taking you with them. 

HOMO FOMO is a show exploring the rules that dictate ‘how to be a queer person’ and the ways they become fixed over time through repetition. It’s about nightclubs, which are more complex than usual representations of glitter, mirror balls and sweaty bodies suggest. Meta wants to know: what do these rules do and what happens if you break them?

HOMO FOMO draws on intergenerational queer experiences drawn from community interviews and questionnaires to ask what it means to be part of ‘the queer community’ today, or indeed to feel that you are missing out on it.

HOMO FOMO is co-created by Meta Cohen and Alyson Campbell, based on an original concept by Meta.
