Jera Wolfe

In 1832, a Canadian infantryman at Fort York was hanged for making love with another man. The victim's rank was private and his name was Flowers. Private Flowers is a new multimedia installation and film that explores a dark chapter of Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ history.

This experimental opera reenacts the lesser known history of Chinese medical student Li Shiu Tong, and his lover Magnus Hirschfeld, a much older German sexologist and gay rights pioneer during Nazi Germany.
