Nando Messias: The Sissy’s Progress
17 March: 7.30pm.
18 March: 7pm & 8.45pm.
£10/£8 concessions.
Nando Messias was beaten up on the street behind Toynbee Studios in an act of homophobic hatred. After years of dreaming up his response, he presents The Sissy’s Progress, a spectacle of provocation, celebration and hyperflamboyance.
Part dance-theatre, part walking performance, The Sissy’s Progress leads its audience out onto the streets with a live marching band playing original music composed by Jordan Hunt. A veritable shock of brassy celebration and gender identity. Come and reclaim the street Sissy-style!
