Barely Visible at Square Chapel Arts Centre, Halifax 5 April 2022 Tickets from £10.00 — Book now

Coming to Square Chapel Arts Centre, Barely Visible sheds light on life in the shadows – a lifestyle that queer women often have to adapt to in order to avoid sexualisation or (fe)male gaze; issues that unfortunately more often than not accompany their sexuality.

This empowering physical solo performance’s stage centrepiece is a 100-kilo vertical pole, which the performer actively deconstructs and uses to show the audience how they can also become visible and in control.
