      SURVIVE features three solo performances by queer Aotearoa artists, each delving into themes of identity, authenticity, and navigating the trials and triumphs of a life within the diverse LGBTQiA2+ spectrum.

      These shows* include:

      • ESCAPING, a gay exposé about living, loving, losing and learning. Written and performed by Adam Burrell. A development season of this show was presented at BATS Wellington in April.
      • PRAY, a gay exposé about faith, fa’ataupati, fellas and fellatio. Written and performed by Vincent Farane.

      • LADY SINGS THE OOO’S, a gay exposé with oooh’s and aaah’s, and ew’s and nah’s. Written and performed by Nanu Turner-Sarah.
