Artemis: Utter Mess

ARTEMIS: UTTER MESS welcomes you to join Artemis Muñoz as they unpack their journey to self acceptance live on stage!

This show is for anyone who has ever wondered where they belong or been confused about living in a world that takes issue with words of identity and community but is keen to put us in the wrong boxes nonetheless.

In this show, Artemis looks over their journey to self discovery as a non-binary, asexual, bi-racial and neurodivergent person through song, story and several excellent puns.

Thoughtful and thought provoking. Hilarious and sad at the same time, but so damn creative. I've seen some unboxing videos on YouTube but I've never seen anyone unbox their own character on stage, being 100% honest, while wearing a dinosaur onesie! Art has given us a look into their world. What an amazing person! A unique piece of art! - Paul / Audience Review

If you feel lost about your identity, go see Utter Mess! Artemis takes you through their journey, and shows that it's okay to be confused and connects with you and what you're going through. - Peany / Audience Review

It was truly amazing to see so many intersecting identities spoken and sung about with equal measures raw vulnerability, improvised comedy and polished skill (what a voice omg!) It was both entertaining and all too real... I had never seen my own experiences reflected so earnestly and accurately in art before. - Rae / Audience Review
