Fusing physical theatre, spoken word, song and sword swallowing, the show is the story of a queer Black woman finding love, overcoming institutional racism and leaning into radical vulnerability.

Regularly gracing international stages as a renowned sword swallower, circus artist and dazzling burlesque artist, Livia Kojo Alour is also a poet, musician and theatre maker.

Speaking out about the challenges and repercussions facing Black women who dare to ditch stereotypes, Livia makes her solo Edinburgh Fringe debut with a frank and deeply personal show Black Sheep.
