"SIGH" is a bold and physical new show exploring how everyday routines, gay encounters and family rejection shape a queer life. Patíco’s predictable daily —wake, work, sleep—suddenly fractures after one phone call, pulling him back into a memory he has tried to leave behind.
The piece moves fluidly between present-day London and Patíco’s childhood in Chile, revealing how life under strict ideas of masculinity and unspoken family trauma continue to shape his relationships and sense of self. As heartbreak, desire and grief collide, memories slip into dreams and reality becomes elastic.
Through movement, text and sound, -SIGH- offers audiences an intimate, accessible and emotionally rich portrait of a man navigating queerness, loss and the complicated legacy of a father who's never fully accepted him.
"CPT is the first place we turn to when we have a new idea, knowing that experimentation and new ideas are always supported."
