Naked Stage: Close To You

An improvisational performance on romantic love, intimacy, passion and sexual attraction, which will be created during the festival with the strong commitment of the international festival ensemble under the precise and sensitive direction of the Australian artist Rama Nicholas.

This intimate performance courageously draws back the veil on our secret lives and loves and gives us the chance to glimpse love in its rawest form, improvised on stage. That warm and fuzzy feeling only a new love can invoke, candid conversations about sex, the ups and downs of lasting relationships, the passion, the craving, the break ups, the broken hearts and the electrifying tension of desire. Like all great love stories – Close to You will leave us wanting more.
