Le Gateau Chocolat’s work traverses genre and format. He’s trodden Bark of Millions with Taylor Mac at Sydney Opera House, performances at Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall, Barbican with Basement Jaxx and Metropole Orkest, Glyndebourne, The Globe Theatre, Edinburgh Festivals and Bayreuth. He performs the likes of Wagner to Whitney Houston, Purcell to Radiohead and continues to subvert what it means to be a true icon in the post-genre era.
The six-and-half foot tall, six-inch heeled, wig-clad wonder swings wildly from one end of the musical spectrum to another, from disco, opera, musicals and pop. His recent production ICONS has toured to Sydney Festival, Wales Millennium Centre, Soho Theatre, Underbelly Southbank and elsewhere. ICONS has also been presented with accompaniment from the Little Coco Orchestra, a Le Gateau Chocolat initiative to support diverse musicians through the creation of an ensemble formed entirely of women of colour.
