Hot Cousin are an awkward, trashy, loving family who make experimental performance and are not related by blood. .
We make hybrid work, with live and digital audiences.
We use the pop-cultural canon, gossip, societal anxiety, and our own complicated intersectional identities as the inspiration for our work
It’s part theatre, part reality, part dance party, part chat room, part call to arms.
We live in three different continents. We have to make everything over the internet.

Murder Ballad
Murder ballad! is Hot Cousin’s ode to Agatha, a murder mystery in a digital space, released in fragments on social media followed by a big online messy gathering where the murderer is revealed.

Hot Cousin Mystery Party
In the spirit of mystery, gossip and lies, we held a 24 hour relay race over three continents, using our time zone differences to build a mystery and get a live audience to solve it.
TOXIC CRAZY LUCKY STRONGER is our response to what feels like the end of the world, where we and our audience of Online and Live partygoers work together to recreate and relive the best party of our lives. We wrestle back a life that has been hijacked by colonialism and capitalism by sharing the last moment of pure utopian perfection and freedom in our lives, with as many people as possible.

Don’t Talk to Strangers is our attempt to communicate to aliens. It explores NASA's Golden Record, curated by Carl Sagan, which was sent into interstellar space to describe humanity to extraterrestrial life forms. It’s an exploration of love, arrogance, colonialism and whale song. It's how something can be beautiful and a horror show at the same time
