For Jump Cut #3, Multi-media artist Austin Young brought together drag performance artists Alaska Thunderfuck, Willam Belli and Laganja Estranja to form a triple deity performing to a soundtrack by queer icon Peaches. They are triple-voiced, triple-pointed, and triple-faced. Together they playfully engage with themes of transformation and manifestation in a search for an authentic multiplicity.
Jump Cut #3 premiered at Take Me Somewhere Festival in Glasgow and via CTM's YouTube channel on Saturday 22 May 2021. It was presented again within CTM Festival 2022.
