In just a two years, Rassputin has taken the Melbourne Alt and Burlesque scenes by storm, performing in Imogen Kelly’s Bent Burlesque, the Australian Burlesque Festival, multiple Fringe seasons across Australia and the UK as well as choreographing and performing a group act for the National Gallery of Victoria’s Leigh Bowery Ball!

 

In 2024 alone this tiny trans man has performed in over 45 different shows throughout the year. Whether it's a rambunctious act of banana-clad bravado or a display of voracious villainy, Rassputin commands total control over the crowd’s emotions and always leaves their expectations in tatters.

You haven't seen anything like this before.

Unless you, like Rassputin, have a particular interest in Dada-ism and it's revival in the Slavic music scene. Creating acts that are both universal yet unfathomable, his mind works on a whole different dimension and he refuses to be limited to only one genre of influence. Every act is crafted in a melting pot of performance styles, drawing on dance, physical theatre, clown and burlesque in varying amounts that ensure each act is totally different from the last.

​

Offstage, Rassputin is just as captivating, known for his infectious charm and a dedication to his community that has earned him a devoted following in the Wet Posse. He’s not just a performer; he’s a legend in the making, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who encounter him.
