A love letter to this community, a statement, and a record of queer resilience through dance.
Reviving the club as queer sanctuary during a time of its absence, this durational performance film installation from FRAN.K and collaborators opens a portal into a heady journey through 3 reimagined clubworlds designed by Furmaan Ahmed. With garments styled by Sabrina Henry and lighting by Jazz Hutsby, each world is filmed live in one take by director of photography Daniel Hughes. This show is an accumulation of years spent dancing in clubs across Scotland and featuring a creative team that have largely connected within these spaces.
Performers were invited to show up and dance in the ways they would in a club space. To engage with the set, lighting, music in the moment. A durational improvisation to lose themselves in the fantasy and engage in a trance.
17 exceptional artists across the worlds of club music, performance art, dance, club performance come together in a 6 hour kaleidoscopic journey through a pulsing soundscape. We welcome you to join the dance floor.
Access: Captioned
