Welcome to the Commonwealth of Kekistan, a nation founded on Right-Wing principals; full of Red Pill science and philosophy, a Fair Go (TM) for everyone, and of course, dank memes. Don’t forget your passport.
All about radical empathy and dissecting the ways men fall into Alt-Right pipelines, The Commonwealth of Kekistan pulls apart our political binary and looks for what we might have in common with those on the other side. How can we care for ourselves by caring about our enemy? How does the patriarchy harm women and radicalise men, and what can we do about it?
“Maybe the motto of Kekistan says it best: Divided we stand, united we fall.”
Developed in Ryan Hamilton’s cramped apartment, our second Butterfly Club production added a musical number, an expanded cast, hauntingly verbatim AV and received our first ever death threat.
