labia

Three performers bring the sensuality, poetics and politics of kissing on stage.

In labia tender queers reshape and play with the multiple forms and images of gender andfree romantic love. Different forms and intentions of kissing crystallize into small dances,scenes and choreographies. The performers fluctuate between experiencing and performingthe intimate. Lips are touching other lips – thirsting, greeting, for farewell, giving, taking,sensing, asking, aching and longing.

bois, butts hubba bubba, guts wet lips, singing hips bye shy bye

Demo versions of labia have been performed at the Museum Of Impossible Forms in anevening organised by Bodies of Pleasures collective and at Urban Apa's Club Ambedo.
