TROLLIED

Wet Mess makes performance and film works that live at the edges of drag, cabaret, performance and choreographic practice. In this new film, a performance to camera Wet collaborates with Nando Messias.

“Two gender freaks and a shopping trolley, getting trollied. Brother/sister from another mother/mister. It always starts with the shoes. Being mothers, and lovers, and friends, and boys, and girls… We’ve been called so many names, sometimes we don’t know what to call ourselves — but Nancy says that’s the whole point: to be confusing. I’ll wheel you in if you wheel me out. Picking up each other’s shit — I wouldn’t do this just for anyone, you know! “

This work was commissioned by Somerset House Studios and developed over a one-week period in December 2025
