Sydney Festival presents
44 Sex Acts in One Week follows Celina, a journalist stuck writing clickbait for a lifestyle blog. It falls to her to road test a new book, The 44 Sex Acts that Will Change your Life. All she has to do is experience 44 different kinds of sex, across the full spectrum of kink, by Friday.
Problem is: she needs a partner. And the only person available is her nemesis, brooding animal activist/office mail boy, Alab Delusa. Sworn enemies, they now have one week to explore the endlessly undulating terrain of sex, from BDSM to role-play, from polyamory to exhibitionism. And with no time to recover. Can all this extra friction between them strike real sparks?
From the razor sharp quill of David Finnigan (Kill Climate Deniers) comes a pressure cooker sexcom-cum-radio play about what drives humanity to go all the way toward the end of civilisation as we know it.
Developed with the support of Belvoir, 44 Sex Acts in One Week is part of the Artists at Work Initiative. Close your eyes (if you must), have your ears felt up by foley effects, and wonder what it might be like to peg someone in a camping supplies store at 10am on a Wednesday.
