Mirror balls, sequins, monologues and a pagan-Greco-Roman sex goddess whose story has been appropriated and metamorphosed by the heteronormative patriarchy. These are just a few of the things that appear in Out Of Orbit, an all-singing, all-hula-hooping, all-roller-skating romp through one queer femme woman's attempt to make sense of her life and break free of the cycle in which she finds herself and her child. Told through 12 genre-bending scenes, each representing one of the astrological houses, skipping backwards and forwards through time at will, Cleo’s story moves from Aries new beginnings through to Piscean conclusions, with a myriad of memories and characters enacted, reinvented and adapted in

between.
