the Waiting Room

This is by Krystian Lupa and is currently touring across France. It's a story about a group of junkies who take drugs and have sex, there's a great scene where they are trying to film a porno with one guy and 2 girls. There's also a cool interview with some of the cast ontheir website.

I Am Curious

This is from the 2008 performance at the Edinburgh fesitval, the review was written for the Alternative Art Magazine at the time, (courtesey of Laura)

"Sometimes you attend these fringe plays with a degree of caution, anyone who knows the films will know the amount of sex and nudity involved and cetrain troupes tend not to hold back when it comes to their performance. Anyone who went along to see I Am Curious wanting to catch an eyeful of young flesh will not have been disappointed. The star 'Lena' treats us to unrestricted views of her milky skin and athletic physique for the full 2 hour run time of the show, aided by 2 actors who in turn play the parts of all the sexual partners she has had in her life, both by the way are also fully nude for the duration. The sex scenes are slow and almost too realistic but the foreplay and post sex scenes are steamy and build up an air of tension like no other similar scale production I've seen this year. For anyone familiar with the films, yes there is platting of pubic hair and kissing of a flaccid penis (though how the actor remains flaccid is anyones guess) but the most erotic moment has to be the penultimate scene in which Lena and her partner take to bodypainting each other. This is a fascinating scene and beautifully played out by the 2 young actors who seem to have no qualms about every inch of their bodies being prodded and played with and covered with paint. A joy to watch."

Between Us

I caught this in Belgium a few years back and loved it, the whole piece is perfromed by 2 women and last for about an hour and a half. at first they are both fully clothed but slowly over the piece they both take items of clothing off until they are naked. Glad to see this was now available on dvd, is great to watch. I love the bit when the pull the girl up from the audience, and there is something strangely sexy about the red tights!





Trechos do Espetaculo





Ok so someone sent me this video of a performance by a group in Brazil. Thought it was quite clever how they imitate sex in a pagan like way with the wreath and the shaft used as genitals.
