Sex and Death
Sex and Death invites you to reflect on life, death and what happens in between. Part-date, part-photoshoot, it’s a chance to ask the big questions to someone a little older and wiser, and to consider the experience of yourself changing through time. Through playful and provocative encounters, this work explores how time shapes, morphs and ultimately makes us who we were, who we are, and who we will become.
Premiered at Arts House for the Festival of Live Art 2016.
