Powerhouse presents I LOVE SEX / YOU LOVE SEX which uses two characters from Greek writing as a framework for the conversation around both the politicisation and politick of having a female body. Being queer, femme, neurodiverse and a survivor of sexual trauma makes us acutely aware of the political power of our bodies. The mirroring of the characters emphasises the timelessness of this intersectional politicised experience for women and explores how we can heal, moving past the single effort for survival towards building honest and radical friendships that encourage us to thrive. In a panic, Rema-Mae and Irys appear together in a windowless bedroom. As they realise they cannot escape, they are forced to learn how to intentionally love and care for one another, supporting one another through a beautiful story of care, queer love, friendship, and support. The project is focused on how mutual aid and compassionate friendships can promote a radical honesty that provides relief from the hardships of societal reality.Supported by: London Performance Studios
