Fierce-Gentle The Show at Melbourne Fringe 2023

Role: Performer, Writer, Producer

“A rainbow isn’t actually seven colours; in fact it’s mostly blurred lines.”

Fierce-Gentle was a unique fusion of spoken word poetry and music produced by Fleassy Malay and enhanced by her band, The Blurred Lines.

Receiving two Judges Picks at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2023, Fierce-Gentle was a show where thought-provoking lyrics met haunting melodies and a touch of sass. Fierce-Gentle took audiences on a journey of survival, gender, queerness, feminism, heart ache, passion, and love. It asked “What does it mean to hold fierce boundaries yet still live with an open heart?”.

The Blurred Lines provided a musical backdrop to the spoken word, adding depth and emotion to the performance. A fusion of velvety vocals coupled with live music, that created a haunting and ethereal soundscape.

Fierce-Gentle was staged in 2022 (The Vic Pride Centre) and 2023 (Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub) for Melbourne Fringe.
