Please don't make love to me, I'm exhausted
In Please don’t make love to me, I’m exhausted, everyone tries to survive by seeking out small moments of happiness. A clown in an interrogation room stares ahead with a tragicomic expression - though that might just be down to his smudged make-up. He stubbornly carries on folding balloon dogs, whilst the questions keep coming. A merman drags himself along, panting, craving those last few drops to feel like a fish in water one last time. And two stand-up comedians desperately try to elicit a laugh from an audience staring back at them with icy stares.
Clown, merman and comedians each seek, in their own way, a foothold in a world that is ablaze. The same question keeps ringing out: how do you carry on when everything around you is shaking to its foundations?
A humorous, moving journey full of recognition and alienation – intimate and grand at the same time.
Première | January 2027
