STATUS

Overview

STATUS is an exploration of HIV in the modern world. As a response to various interviews, it is a story of HIV positive men, women, friends, family, lovers and acquaintances. It examines the stigmas still floating about and the tensions of living a positive life while being positive. The show is a brief 65 minutes long and seeks to spark discussion about HIV in society today.

This year the International Conference AIDS 2014 is taking place in Melbourne, and STATUS will be performed as an independent event in affiliation with the conference. A production bursting with "hope, bravery, love, humour, pain, laughter, tears and compassion", STATUS is a celebration of life, not loss, and an opportunity to start talking.
