When crisis is all around us, rest and play can feel self-indulgent, but both are essential ingredients of our life force, what I call “Eroticism.” (…) I believe that staying connected to that life force prepares us to handle the very things we need a break from—whether it’s the crises of home or work or our planet—so we can come back to these fights replenished and a little stronger. Esther Perel
In THE ART OF PLEASURE a group of performers explore play, joy, pleasure and sensations to find eroticism. And by eroticism we mean the sensory excitement of an experience. In a house that’s folded inside-out and a bunch of stuff they celebrate life.
THE ART OF PLEASURE is also an antidote for negativity and struggle and reminds us that there is much more than the cognitive. There is no need to understand.
Trigger-warning: the greediness of their journey can make it feel like a sugar rush, so if you are a person that is easily overwhelmed this is probably not the performance that makes you happy.
