Is this porn? No, this is love

Until recently, the world’s deepest abyss was in Croatia: 506 meters straight down. But the abyss in this play is even more dizzying. And on the precipice are two lovers. She is on one side, he is on the other. Not a bridge in sight.

After De Therapie and Bombastische Liefdesverklaring, theatre maker Julie Cafmeyer [1987] is once again probing the fathomless deep that is love. In Is this porn? No, this is love she lies down on the sofa night after night. Every night there’s a different male lead alongside her, with whom she discusses how their once tempestuous affair has run aground. A show full of wry laughter, sinister light-heartedness and amusing tragedy.
