ABOUT
PRESS KIT RESOURCES AVAILABLE HERE
Red Rey is a Filipino-Australian performance artist based between Paris and Sydney. Their practice holds the body as its central focus, using movement, costume, objects and video which unfold as intimate, site-responsive, roving or participatory encounters, inviting the audience into a performance world.
The body is transformable. Their queerness shapes how they approach gender and intimacy through the ability of the body to transmute between states and perform roles in society. The body retains memory. As a Filipino diasporic artist, the seed of their work often begins with cultural memory, both experienced and inherited.
Red Rey has presented work at the 25th Biennale of Sydney (2026), Dark Mofo (2025), 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (2025), Art Gallery of NSW (2022), ACE Parramatta for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney (2022), and Soft Centre for Vivid Festival (2022). They undertook the Brand X Multi-Arts Residency in 2025, and YBDG dance residency in 2026.
As a DJ, their curation ranges between techno and global queer sounds. They have performed internationally at events such as Boiler Room, Parking Stone Paris, FancyHIM Tokyo, FOMO HOMO Singapore and Stampffabrik festival Germany. They have also produced queer POC focused club events, most notably during Sydney World Pride 2023 and is a former day time radio presenter at FBi Radio Sydney.
