The Haus von Schwarz present DYSTOPIAN DECADANCE: A drag and queer performance show streaming live from Tokyo, in celebration of Oliver K. Langmead's fabulous new novel, GLITTERATI.

The Haus von Schwarz is an Alternative & Weird drag haus based in Tokyo.

O liver K. Langmead is the author of GLITTERATI, a fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class. He is a lecturer in Creative Writing at Lancaster University.

“Langmead pushes his social satire so far, it acquires its own dizzying reality” – The Times

“a deft, wicked skewering of influencer culture” “deliciously sensory prose” – New Scientist

“It is hilarious, supremely ridiculous in its triviality, like the Iliad fought over,

say, a stolen purse.” – Locus

The Glitterati regularly have traumatic memories erased, allowing them to live lives of luxury and leisure, following the ever-changing tides of fashion. After Simone accidentally starts a fashion for nosebleeds at a party, a fellow fashionite takes the credit and sparks a rivalry so vicious it threatens to expose the sordid foundations of their opulent utopia. A Clockwork Orange and RuPaul’s Drag Race meet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in this fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class.
