Lucky Frawley, Curtain Call (DOCO 2026)

Curtain Call is a photographic elegy to a place built on sequins, sweat, queer celebration, and the fragile magic of live performance. What began as a love letter became an act of witness. Of grief. Of defiance. The Butterfly Club was closing. No warning. No public announcement. No fanfare. In the space of Tomorrow it would be gone. So I returned with my camera one final time. What I captured sits somewhere between documentary and memory. The spark.The stubborn joy. All the messy, beautiful pieces of what made this place matter; right at the moment it slipped between applause and mourning.
