“Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.”
Oscar Wilde
What happens when 3 experienced women take power to get what they want?
Three established dance artists come together in an exhilarating, raw, moving and funny performance about the experience, anatomy and physiology of sex/uality. Together and through dance, movement and monologues, they explore and share experiences, social traumas and desires. With a twinkle in their eye, self-irony and vulnerability, the trio tell personal stories ranging from being queer, to hormonal changes. to indifference to sex and discovering new sexuality.
