Fierce-Gentle - Melbourne Fringe
 

A queer fusion of spoken word, sultry singing, and live music.

4th, 5th, 18th, 18th & 21st October, Melbourne

  • Written and Performed by: Fleassy Malay
  • Composer: Rory McDougall & Crumhorn

"A rainbow isn't actually seven colours; in fact it's mostly blurred lines."

Experience a unique fusion of spoken word poetry and music with Fleassy Malay and The Blurred Lines. Fierce-Gentle is a show where thought-provoking lyrics meet haunting melodies sprinkled with a touch of sass. Exploring their fluid nature, Fleassy Malay takes us on a journey of survival, gender, queerness, feminism, heart ache, passion, and love. They ask "What does it mean to hold fierce boundaries yet still live with an open heart?".

Fleassy’s words are often tender, raw, and thought-provoking, imbued with a playful wit and infectious humour. Delivered with sincerity, they captivate the audience and foster a feeling of unity and connection among listeners.

The Blurred Lines provide a musical backdrop to Fleassy’s poetry, adding depth and emotion to the performance. A fusion of velvety vocals coupled with live music, creating a haunting and ethereal soundscape that complements Fleassy’s words perfectly.

In a world where the boundaries between art forms are becoming increasingly blurred, Fleassy Malay and The Blurred Lines stand out as a shining example of what can be achieved when different forms of expression are combined.

Tickets: $23
