THE SHOW
​A Theatre OF CRUELTY, with a few twists

A symbolic story of disability, masculinity, sexuality & society.
Told backward: from affirmation to normalization, virility to sterility.

  • the PREMIERE
A ballsy ​portrayal of disability as desirability. 
Through an erotic allegory, Alan Shain, Frank Hull & Michele Decottignies expose the barriers two men have to navigate before they can let their lust for one other loose. 

It's lit a hot spark between them and set their sexual ​sauciness on fire.
Will society put its foot down and snuff out their flames?


Closet Freaks puts the sexual politics of disability on display.
