BLOOS (BLUSH)
An audio performance in bed
2018 / 2020
Nominated for the BNG Bank Theatre Prize 2019.
BLOOS is about the things we don’t discuss. About simple sensory pleasures like sliding your hand into a bag of rice or letting an ice cube melt on your chest. About flirting, being seduced, and longing for something.
For BLOOS, Marte spoke with women aged ten to one hundred about intimacy and sensuality. Reclining in a single bed, you listen to one of these women. Every bed tells a different story from a different generation.
BLOOS is physical, sensual, open: a total experience without shame.
