Ira Luxuria

A French Duke, a femme fatale and a fundamentalist's worst nightmare combine to create draglesque dandy Ira Luxuria – named for the Latin terms for cardinal sins rage and lust. Applying a fine arts education to an incurably immature sense of humour, Ira commands the stage for provocative and utterly indulgent acts for theatre and club nights. They are one of the core members of Melbourne’s smuttiest Rocky Horror shadow cast, The Pelvic Thrusts, and were 2nd runner up in the 2019 Miss Burlesque Victoria competition. Revealing a lot more than just skin, they bend genres and genders, intellectualism and puerile humour- the line between art and smut blurs just as smoothly as their eyeshadow! Swinging around the streetlight at the corner of perfection and provocation, they are here to climb through your eyes, down your throat and nestle into your deepest desires- the Original Sin Themself- IRA LUXURIA
