Global Desires, Summerfolk Redux
An experimental performance project that dares you to delve into the symbolism and connectivity between everyday human desires
A typewriter, limbs, lips and a three headed monster are vital elements of desire, no?
Global Desires offers audiences the opportunity to explore the wild and unpredictable nature of desire from multiple lived experiences in a triptych of events – a redux version of Gorky’s Summerfolk, a performance making workshop and a performance conversation where compelling questions in relation to desire are contemplated by a neuroscientist and a botanist.
