DIRECTION (SEPTEMBER 2023)

THE HIVVY centres on a young Black gay man after he receives an HIV diagnosis.

Kyle must navigate his new-found health concerns, his work as a secondary school teacher, and his relationships with best friend Nate and family, all while processing his emotions.

Somewhere at the end of the labyrinth is self-acceptance, but Kyle must walk through the entrance first.

A GATEWAY ARTS Research & Development project supported by HACKNEY SHOWROOM and ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND.
