Nando Messias | The Sissy’s Progress, a work-in-progress

7pm. Free, but RSVP essential (to laura@artsadmin.co.uk)

Nando Messias was beaten up only yards from Toynbee Studios in an act of homophobic hatred. After years of dreaming his response, he presents The Sissy’s Progress, a spectacle of surprise, questioning and hyperflamboyance.

Part installation, part dance-theatre, part walking performance, the evening engages the violence of city life and the contradictions of East London.

Join a live marching band to follow The Sissy’s Progress to its floridly medieval climax.

Nando Messias is a Dance Art Foundation Associate Artist. The Sissy’s Progress is supported by a Movingeast residency curated in partnership with Dance Art Foundation and funded by Arts Council England.
