SADIQ ALI COMPANY IS AN EMERGING CIRCUS AND PERFORMANCE MAKING COMPANY SPECIALISING IN CHINESE POLE RUN BY SADIQ ALI.
The Company is currently developing a new show called Tell Me performed on three scaffold cubes and the story follows a character disclosing their HIV status and hopes to destigmatise HIV. It will premiere out-doors in summer 2025 and in theatres in early spring 2026.
Their debut show The Chosen Haram, a unique take on circus, performed on two Chinese Poles, was a big hit at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022 - receiving awards, 5-star reviews and sold-out every night. It deals with themes of sexual identity, religion and drug dependency through the story of two gay men, their chance meeting on a dating app and the highs and lows of their relationship. It toured the UK and internationally throughout 2023 and 2024.
