‘I MAKE SEX REALISTIC. NOT REAL. IT’S ALL CHOREOGRAPHY.’

How do you have sex on stage? How do you even have sex?

To try and find an answer, each night, two brand new performers tell a story of desire, betrayal, and loneliness. They have never rehearsed together or read the script. They are strangers.
