Good Sex, created by the Irish company Dead Centre, unfolds a fragile story of love, solitude and desire. Each evening two performers who have previously loved are reunited on stage, yet the actors do not know each other nor the words they must inhabit; the dialogue is whispered to them in real time through an earpiece, guided by an intimacy coordinator. The piece examines how intimacy and sexuality are constructed, and reflects on theatrical and cinematic illusion.
