Burning Pages Theatre Company presents
PRIDE
directed by Amy Rushent
A radical experiment in queer protest, joy, and liberation. With our right to protest under threat, PRIDE explores how LGBTQIA+ people can rise up and tell our stories when others seek to silence us.
Pride is a protest. It always has been. It was a brick thrown in rage, before it was rainbow tote bags on every shoulder. It was a dance of freedom, before it was a proof of allyship. It was the safety of the chosen family, before it was a month for every CEO to fatten their paycheck. With government legislation, pinkwashing, and discrimination making it harder and harder for the LGBTQIA+ community to stand up for our right to exist and be free, how are our methods of protest transforming?
Burning Pages invites you to experience the first sharing of a new show that represents the stories of LGBTQIA+ people in a way never seen before, exploring the collision of joy and discomfort of living life as a queer person. We want to know: how can we use theatre as a form of protest? A devised ensemble piece full of movement, music, and poetry, PRIDE will launch you into an authentic and exciting world of queer expression, liberation, and celebration.
A Burning Pages production supported by Arts Council England, the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and in support of The Outside Project.
Performers: Matisse Ciel Pagès, Sami Sumaria, Nash Hernandez
Director/Producer: Amy Rushent
Designer: AJ Awak-Essien
