Fana fraser: a siren song

Written, Directed, Choreographed & Performed by Fana Fraser

a siren song
a story
a study, a speech
a slippery shape shifting song of songs
this unshaming of wild desire,
I want want want what I want want want
fueled by blood, rage, heated delight 

a re-membering, with voracity 
bring out de jammette inna me

Timed in a fantasy paradise where dreams become reality for an extended present moment, this new work dances Fraser’s ongoing exploration of a queer Trinbagonian femmehood. 

This will be performed as part of a double bill with Nia Calloway: The Great Orgasmic Dance (GOD) or The Earth Is Not One of Your Lil Friends
