PEEKABOO is a vision of a world transformed into a playground of sensuality. This universe imagines new ways of connecting through cruising: the pursuit of fleeting, sexual encounters in open, public spaces. Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as an exploration of experimental relationships and serendipitous encounters.

Music, hypnosis, drag, text, and dance intertwine in this performance. You’ll meet a host of characters such as shapeshifter Couenne, mating bird Courtney, superstar Birame, Oscar The Explorer, Julia the hypnotist in the sky, and Benne on the keys. They collide and melt, search and hide, sing and laugh within a scenography of touche-touche—as vibrant and sensual as the characters themselves. Each one is on a personal quest for pleasure.

Curiosity and excitement weave through this story, blending kinky comedy, campy musical numbers, and intimate ASMR in a dreamy, Teletubby-esque landscape.

There’s no revolution without a sexual revolution!
