Set Piece brings together film and theatre citations, interview material and improvisation to create a 45-60minute work that explores homosexual coupledom through the lens of power dynamics and erotic power play.

Set Piece will comprise of relational power structures, dialogue and genre conventions from an archive of theatrical and film texts that explore the couple form as their primary point of philosophical engagement.

Through these deidealising portraits of the couple, Set Piece explores the abject nature of sexuality and desire, modes of competition and contempt generated by the immobility of the form, and the ways in which desire and attachment are bound up in broader hierarchical social organizations.
