SQIFF Opener Strike a Pose

Scottish premiere

To the fans they were the unforgettably sleek, talented, and beautiful men that helped support the career of one of the world’s most beloved and controversial music artists. But behind the scenes they were Kevin, Oliver, Luis, Carlton, Jose, Gabriel, and Salim; a disparate group of young dancers whose lives were forever changed by Madonna’s iconic Blond Ambition Tour. Strike a Pose movingly revisits the men after twenty years apart, charting the thrill followed by the fading light of fame, and examining emotionally devastating issues they have dealt with, including navigating being gay in the wake of the AIDS crisis.
