Current Performances

Looking at tickets for An Eve and An Adam at the Edinburgh Festival in August, some of the promo shots and trailer video looks good, seems to be an hours dance/ballet featuring two nudes. Has anyone seen this before, is it worth the trip?

Got any tips on those other shows with nudity at the festival this year? A quick list would be amazing. Thanks in advance if you can manage it.

Thanks for that. Tbh the reason I asked is because the Edinburgh nudity warnings are notoriously unreliable. I think it's because they ask theatre companies to provide their info for the guide waaay in advance, and the exact details of the final shows often change. Also, I suspect they don't mind goosing their audience numbers with some mild false advertising So, any personal proven concrete testimony is always welcome!

I saw The Sensemaker there a few years ago on a tip from a board, and it's a terrific piece both artistically and in terms of nudity, which would have totally slipped under the radar otherwise.

I saw this at the weekend and it was an incredible show, definitely worth catching if you are in Edinburgh for the festival. The two dancers are fully nude for more than 40 minutes and the "dance" goes from expressive/frantic to genuinely erotic and sexual territory. They spend a lot of time exploring each others bodies whilst naked which includes stroking, feeling even pulling and stretching of skin in some very intimate areas, they also indulge in foreplay/seduction once the apple or forbidden fruit has been taken.

Could an be interesting show if anyone in Glasgow?

I went to the preview of this last night and was blown away by it. Firstly, it was such a weird experience, it was almost like a workshop and the writer/director openly admitted the play was a work in progress - she and the group were testing it out with a live audience and she talked about how it would develop over the coming weeks in time for the summer performances.

The premise is very simple, its set in the garden of eden and the devil (a drage queen btw) bets god (a woman) that he can seduce Adam and Eve within 7 days, mirroring the creation that God has just completed. And so begins a series of scenes that are basically soft porn! The Devil has 2 helpers (2 very sexy dancers in corsets and fishnets) who attempt to sexualise the very naked Adam and Eve (a beautiful sight, and very brave performance from both!). This includes bondage/bdsm, blindfolds, ice & wax, food play, foot fetishism, CFNM/ENF, lapdancing/poledancing, spanking, and probably several other things which my fried mind could not handle! Ultimately he fails, but Eve does manage to steal an apple from the forbidden fruit tree and as a result sexualises herself. She recaps a lot of what she's just been subjected too this time with a feeling of arousal which is very hot! She also manages to succeed in seducing Adam and the two treat us to a nice sex scene at the end.

It was loose and messy at times, and not overy coherent, but given this was an open workshop it was incredible viewing. the director and main cast also had a Q&A and discussion forum after the performance which was very enlightening - Adam and Eve are a real life married couple, which actually adds to the appeal of this. I'll definitely be booking tickets for the real shows, apparently it'll be on in Glasgow, Brighton, London and Edinburgh over the summer
