Description
Inspired by autoeroticism, New Skin is a dark lullaby. This 35 minute solo for one male performer is a roller coaster of song, dance, and theatre. Peek into the boudoir where you’ll be serenaded by a crooner so seductive, he can’t keep his hands off himself. Morphing between states of action and receptivity, our protagonist is both masculine and feminine. When consensus reality is called into question, the mind’s fantasies are powerful enough to create inversion.
Duration: 35 minutes
