Immerse yourself in “Fierce Love,” a compelling work-in-progress opera that vividly captures the vibrant nightlife, determined AIDS activism, and enduring queer love of 1990s London.
At its core, a poignant love story blossoms between a seasoned journalist and a charismatic party boy. Their passions ignite amidst the stark reality of the AIDS epidemic and the relentless struggle against governmental injustice over HIV/AIDS support.
“Fierce Love” stands as a stirring celebration of diverse sexualities, courageous resilience, and defiant unity.
Join us for an unforgettable show resonating with the inspirational journey of a trans woman rallying her community, the hypnotic allure of Voguing, and raw, unfiltered emotion — a compelling testament to the enduring power of love and survival.
Fierce Love is supported using public funding by Arts Council England
