7th International Festival OPEN THE DOOR:
Chosen Haram,
Sadiq Ali production Turtle Key Arts (United Kingdom)
Expect a heady mix of love, drugs and islam. This unique and complex show takes on circus, performed on two chinese poles. The show is emotionally candid with moments of humour and joy set to a banging soundtrack.
The show “The Chosen Haram” deals with themes of sexuality, faith, addiction and connection. The story of two gay men and their chance meeting through a dating app, portraying the highs and lows of their relationship and the barriers they face – social, cultural and personal.
The show is based on a combination of lead artist Sadiq Ali’s personal experience, as well as interviews with members of the LGBTQ+ community who identify as (ex) Muslim. “The Chosen Haram” is an exploration into the personal struggles faced by many people whose upbringing contradicts their personal truths, and how this can lead to self-destructive behaviour.
