Delusional – I Killed a Man Summerhall Now– 24th August Time: 15:00 Delusional – I Killed a Man A contemporary circus solo show that embarks on a trans woman's journey. The show explores the haunting feeling of having murdered one’s former self, a common experience for many trans people when leaving their assigned gender behind. Through a multidisciplinary repertoire of circus disciplines such as aerials, dance, singing, and physical theatre, Diana Salles invites us to reflect on the physical and emotional strength it takes to honour one’s deepest truth. ”The combination of aerial silks, beautiful images and mesmerising music makes you want to hug the artist” Amsterdam Fringe Festival TICKET LINK HERE OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent and Nasty join the CEC community to create a safe space & build a community for those who are marginalised in any way in the arts.
