By Any Other Name

What’s in a name?

Names and terms and descriptors and identifiers are important. Language can give us community, it can bring us together and make us feel safe. Until it doesn’t. Until it becomes a way to separate us from them. Until it becomes a way to separate us from others like us. “By Any Other Name” is an intergenerational performance project about LGBTQ+ identity - how it has grown and shifted over the years and how it has remained constant, from our own experience. Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Directed by Lauren Bianchi (Director), assisted by Eilidh Inara and performed by community members. Suitable for audiences aged 14+.
