Ex Cult Member Talks About Sex and Kink and Jesus
For 5 years, Cara lived in an abusive Pentecostal rehab cult. Before that, Cara was raised to be a martyr for Jesus. Literally die for His name. She grew up believing that would happen in her lifetime.
In 2022 Cara leaked the story about the cult to national media, because Scomo gave them $4m. It sparked a Parliamentary Inquiry. Now, gay conversion is (almost) illegal in WA, and 5 other points of legislation have been approved.
However, the journey of recovery from religion and Christian purity culture takes longer than passing some legislation, and that took a long time.
A solo show about recovering from religious trauma, performed by a polyamorous, pansexual, kinky, heretical clown, whipping herself on a cross in an ecstatic confession of her own sexuality.
Can I get an amen?
