an unconventional striptease

An unconventional striptease is a poetic ode to cinematic romance. Performers Ian Yves Ancheta and Iannes Bruylant present an intimate portrait of a relationship between two men in an attempt to rewrite the narrative of gay romance.

By being vulnerable, flawed, and playful the dancers seek to reveal more than just their skin. They explore the literal and symbolic notion of undressing, being unapologetically themselves with each other and the audience. Through a combination of comedy, theatre, and dance you are invited into a celebration of the mundane flawed relationship.
