A Hastings Queer History Collective Event

Details and tickets coming soon.

A solo performance that transforms the human body into a living archive.

Through layer upon layer of brightly coloured paint, and accompanying soundscapes, the performance charts the progression of queer life in the UK from the 1920s to today. 

This performance is made in conversation with queer ancestors, trans futures, and everyone who has ever had to make themselves smaller or louder to survive. 

It is an act of witnessing, a ritual of accumulation, a queering of historical narrative through the very material that threatens to consume the performer.

Ultimately, the body records it all.

Part of the Lemons, Laws and Secret Doors exhibition event programme from the Hastings Queer History Collective. Find out more.
