A powerful new production that blends contemporary circus and dance reimagines the narrative surrounding HIV in today’s world.
Coming to Lowry Fri 16 Jan – Sat 17 Jan, Tell Me weaves poignant and personal storytelling with breathtaking Chinese Pole performances upon three aerial cubes, following the journey of a woman navigating her diagnosis.

Tell Me comes from the Sadiq Ali Company, and is the much-anticipated follow-up to their hit debut show, The Chosen Haram. Based on Sadiq’s lived experiences, the three-person show confronts stigma and challenges outdated perceptions, seeking to offer a hopeful and empowering vision of living with HIV.
