LICK MY HEART
_a cry of love and rage against homophobia
Forgotten voices. Wounded bodies. Hearts still beating.
Lick my Heart is a deep dive into the violence faced by LGBTQIA+ people across the world.
A performance that confronts—and embraces.
That holds up a mirror to our times.
A reminder that love, sometimes, is a battle.
On stage, nature is alive. The valley turns to ash, the river to lava.
Stories of exile, marginalisation, and resistance come to life in a bifrontal scenography. The audience faces itself, witness to a raw and poetic voice.
A text searing with urgency. A theatre of flesh and voice, of landscapes and revolts. Lick my Heart gives voice to stories of forbidden love, institutional violence, and teenagers fighting to exist.
It is a declaration — political, poetic, visceral.
