Following the success of Sadiq Ali Company’s debut show in 2023 the company return with their new show Tell Me, a captivating contemporary circus and dance show that reimagines the narrative around HIV in today’s world.
Combining breathtaking Chinese Pole performances on aerial cubes, the show creates a hypnotising visual spectacle as it follows the journey of a woman navigating her diagnosis.
Based on Sadiq’s lived experiences, Tell Me, confronts stigma and challenges outdated perceptions. The three-person cast of acclaimed circus, dance and theatre artists weaves poignant storytelling with inspiring physical artistry to offer a hopeful and empowering vision of living with HIV.
