PEEKABOO BY MAXIME DREESEN - SOLD OUT

There is no revolution, without a sexual revolution!

20:00 / PEEKABOO

What would your life look like if you could rediscover your sexuality in public space?

PEEKABOO is a vision of a world transformed into a sex playground. This universe depicts new ways of contact through ‘cruising’: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air. Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters.

Music, hypnosis, drag, text and dance come together in this performance. You meet numerous entities such as shapeshifter Couenne, mating bird Courtney, superstar Birame, Julia the hypnotist in the sky, Benne on the keys and Tabooboo. They collide and drip, search and hide, sing and laugh in a scenography of touche-touche that is as lively and sexual as the characters themselves. Each in search of their own personal idea of ​​pleasure.

Curiosity and excitement are the common threads of this story, which brings together kinky comedy, campy musical songs and intimate ASMR in a dreamy, teletubby-esque landscape.

There is no revolution, without a sexual revolution!

Maxime Dreesen (b. 1996) is a Belgian theater director known for boundary-pushing explorations of sexuality, intimacy, and queer futures. Using humor, sensuality, and provocation, Dreesen challenges societal norms and creates space for collective liberation. The alter ego, Tabooboo, explores the interplay between the absurd and the erotic. The recent production Peekaboo (2025) has been praised for its playful yet radical approach to cruising culture.
