Maxime Dreesen: PEEKABOO

Lees in het Nederlands

What would your life look like if you could re-examine your sexuality in public space?

PEEKABOO is a vision in which the world is a sex playground. This universe depicts new ways of contact through cruising: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air. Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters.

Music, hypnosis, drag, text and dance come together in this performance. You meet numerous entities such as shapeshifter Couenne, mating bird Courtney, superstar Birame, Oscar The Explorer, Julia the hypnotist in the sky and Benne on the keys. They collide and drip, search and hide, sing and laugh in a scenography of touche-touche that is as lively and sexual as the characters themselves. Each in search of their own personal idea of pleasure.

Curiosity and excitement are the common threads of this story, which brings together kinky comedy, campy musical songs and intimate ASMR in a dreamy, teletubby-esque landscape.

There is no revolution, without a sexual revolution!
