Chrysalis: A New Musical
Performance
George Wood Theatre, Goldsmiths
London, May 2024
"Blinding with love or mirrored in disguise"
Trans hate crime rises 11% in the past year.
UK plummets down table of 'safe' LGBT countries as hate crime rises.
Living under an ever growing shadow of discrimination and hate, a group of students come together with hopes of laying the foundations for a life they can be proud of.
From first loves, to first heartbreaks, and first dances under the stars. As the students open their hearts, their minds (and some closet doors), they’ll come to realise the importance of queer community and the strength which comes from radical self-love and acceptance.
Can this group of peers turned friends learn to love themselves iridescently?
A brand new musical unearthing the hidden lives and tales of queer people debuting at the George Wood Theatre, Lewisham. Have you ever wondered when it’s time to love yourself out loud? Have you ever wondered if worlds can collide, if it feels right?
