Erect but Unstable

Hard Times

Company website

A comedic and poetic cabaret of theatrical monologues and spoken word examining gay love and relationships, sexual awakening and obsession. Accompany John on his journey through Montreal’s sinuous staircases and Village Gai, with side trips to Science, Religion and Psychiatry, in search of some answers about sex and attraction. “Sweet’s ability to let us experience some of his uncomfortable situations through an absurdist perspective is wonderful” (André Crous, Prague Post). Nominated as best new work at the 2014 Prague Fringe Festival.

Une série de monologues largement comiques dans laquelle le narrateur se questionne par rapport à l’amour et les relations gais, l’acceptation de l’identité sexuelle, et l’obsession. Vous êtes bienvenu à accompagner John parmi les escaliers sinueux du Village Gai, avec quelques diversions vers la Science, la Religion, et la Psychanalyse en quête à quelques révélations sur le sexe et l’attraction. La pièce a été en lice pour meilleure nouvelle pièce au Festival Fringe de Prague en 2014.
