A tempting and seductive hellmouth.

Sweet Spot is a tempting and seductive hellmouth filled with mischief and tender allure, a hellish pit dancing and kneading itself back and forth between intertwining epochs. Dwelling in the abyss, Sweet Spot conjures a distorted dance macabre in a hypnotic landscape gathering six ecstatic figures who sing, collapse and syncopate around each other.
Driven by a “dromomaniac” pull; an uncontrollable urge to keep moving, Sweet Spot spirals into a ceaseless whirlwind, an abundance of unhinged rhythms, mythologies, groovy processions and sudden surges devouring the spectator and everything in its path.
Sweet Spot is the last part of a trilogy of works which includes the solo piece Batty Bwoy (2022) playing with the fictions surrounding the queer body and the group work Undersang (2024) that takes shape as a collective ritual in the forest. Together, these works plunge into how pleasure, excess, and monstrosity can become forces for empowerment and transformation while using the body as a site of ambivalence. Where identity and power are constantly negotiated and mutating, unraveling a porous and unstable surface opening up for rituals, new ways of togetherness and uncanny play.
Since this is a world premiere, the performance is still evolving. We therefore can’t say exactly how long it will last, but we estimate somewhere between 90 and 120 minutes.
