Solace Theatre presents SEDUCE

SEDUCE

A wet dream with nowhere to go.

Alone.
Waiting to be wanted.
Waiting to be touched.
Waiting to become someone else.

Trapped inside a world where fantasy and reality begin to rot into one another, I am confronted by a procession of strange, seductive and horrifying versions of myself. Perfect ballerinas, grieving bodies, an innocent child, a sad man, an aggressor. Each arrives offering something I desperately want - beauty, intimacy, pleasure, escape. Only for desire to become increasingly distorted and dangerous.

Part fashion performance, part dance, part theatre, SEDUCE explores the body as both object and performer: something to be watch, to be desired, disciplined, punished, seduced. Drawing on the visual language of ballet, horror, cinema, club culture and performance art, the piece moves through tensions of beauty and degradation, tenderness and violence, fantasy and disgust.

SEDUCE coincides with an original costume collection created for the performance, transforming the stage into a living fashion spectacle where clothing, movement and the body become inseparable.

With original music by Joe Walsh (imithe), SEDUCE is a filthy, seedy, feverish, dreamlike collision of fashion, dance and theatre - a wet dream that slowly reveals itself as a nightmare.

Beauty becomes filth.

Pleasure becomes punishment.

Fantasy becomes flesh.

SEDUCE

A Solace Theatre production.

Following on from two sold out shows SUCK and SHOCK, Solace Theatre returns with a brand new show unlike anything they have done before. Focused on dance and movement, this show turns inwards rather than being focused on confrontation and destruction. SEDUCE features classical ballet, enhanced theatricality, a script that refuses to behave and fashion spectacle that throws you into a world of sex, beauty, desire and violence.

COME INTO THE DREAM.

GIVE IN.

BE SEDUCED.
