Big Indo Energy: Certified is a chaotic one-hour queer variety ritual designed to test a patron's confidence in their knowledge of Indonesia. Created by the Indonesian Queer Collective (IQC), a registered charity cultural organisation, this high-energy spectacle blends drag, burlesque, contemporary Indonesian performing arts, and live dangdut into a playful cultural showdown. Featuring contemporary Indonesian performing artist Java Jaxx, drag powerhouse Milan von Java, burlesque artists Dia Spice and Jullie le Escott, and dangdut singer Hanul, the show unfolds through bold acts and wild audience challenges including snack trials, language games, dance-offs, and unexpected cultural moments. This is not a passive night at the theatre; it is a certification process. By the finale, one brave audience member will be crowned in a sweaty, camp celebration of Big Indo Energy. Come curious, leave certified. The event is part of Pride Month celebrations at Qtopia Sydney's mainstage theatre, The Loading Dock. The venue is designed for bold, contemporary work that thrives on close connection between artists and audiences.

Lineup: Java Jaxx, Milan von Java, Dia Spice, Jullie le Escott, Hanul
