Good Sex

FRANCOPHONE CREATION AT THE THÉÂTRE DE LIÈGE

How do we make love on a movie set? Or on the stage of a theater? In fact, how do we make love?

After the pandemic, as we emerged from two years where physical distancing – an unexpected side effect of the coronavirus – was the rule, where touching became transgressive, when our bodies were places of illness and no longer receptacles of desire, the well-known Irish company at Théâtre de Liège, Dead Centre (Beckett’s room, To Be a Machine, Le Silence), and the multi-award-winning novelist Émilie Pine joined forces to create Good Sex, a love story for an age without love.

Every night, two new performers tell a story of desire, betrayal, and loneliness. They have never rehearsed together, nor even read the script. They know (almost) nothing and are strangers… But they are never alone; to help and guide them, they are joined on stage by an intimacy coordinator, trained in the art of teaching people how to touch on stage.

So take your seat, and rest assured: it will be safe sex. Consensual sex. But above all, quality sex!
