'Why should strangers not be lovers and yet remain strangers?''

 

Cruising, Clubbing, Fucking is a dance-theatre performance about the ways gay men have met and seduce each other. 

Reimagining moments from New York in the 1970s, it’s an homage to a lost world of intimacies and adventures shared by a generation of gay men.

Blending bodies with beats and contemporary dance styles with gesture, the two dancers move their way through this world of late night lust, combining pursuit, seduction and moments of tenderness.

The show explores anonymous encounters, play in parks and public toilets, handkerchief flagging, and what happens after all the music has died down and all the time together has been spent.

 

Co-commissioned by Homotopia Festival and the Unity Theatre, funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
