What's on in London: Tell Me
Reimagining the HIV narrative.
The new production from Sadiq Ali Company is Tell Me - a circus and dance show reimagining the HIV narrative.
Through Chinese Pole, aerial artistry and physical theatre, Tell Me follows a woman navigating her HIV diagnosis; in a world still shaped by prejudice, silence and misunderstanding, the show considers her fears and dreams and the effect her diagnosis has on her relationships and her own sense of self.
Tell Me invites audiences to confront stigma and celebrate resilience.
"When I was diagnosed with HIV during my circus training, I saw how much fear and ignorance still existed..." explains Sadiq Ali. "I want Tell Me to challenge that - to create the same shift in audiences that I experienced with my peers, to replace fear with empathy and understanding. I want to challenge preconceptions to allow audiences a similar shifting of ideas and create a work that breaks that fear."
