„Scrolling through their phones they go in search of s*x, s*x like they’ve never had before, s*x beyond the imaginable. (…) Disobeying the request for social distancing, giving the health cult the finger, rebelling against the loneliness that is lurking all the time. They meet on a couch in a random living room somewhere in town. They snuggle up, they talk and talk, they f**k each other to kingdom come, sometimes they faint, in each other’s arms, they take care of each other“
This is the description of the NarcoSexuals by Dries Verhoeven, still available to see in Utrecht until June 6th! Shocking, confronting, endearing, this performance is a MUST-SEE!
Whether you’re a student of Media and Culture familiar with the work of Dries Verhoeven, or have never witnessed these type of performances at all, you should definitely give it a try. Liberating and uncomfortable in the way it makes social taboos transparent, this performance is worth its hype.
Go secure a ticket as long as you can!
