ace

asexual - the lack of sexual attraction to others

Exploring the world of sexuality through the eyes of someone who literally does not give a f*ck

Emma is asexual. The majority of the world's population, unfortunately, are not. Navigating her way through a world that revolves around sex has become a full-time occupation. So much so, she had to write a show about it.

“Imagine a world where everyone speaks the same language apart from you.”

An estimated 1% of the world population is asexual. Most grow up with feelings of confusion, enhanced by the hyper sex-focused media and promiscuity of young adult life. There’s High School Musical, GibberEnglish and ballet dancing inside a vagina as Emma revisits her first attempts at kissing and… more than kissing.

ace had its first public showing as a Micro Commission (known as ACE) at SHOUT at home Festival 2020.

"ace" is an absolute fire-cracker. A genuinely funny and thrillingly inventive look at sexuality and desire in all its weirdness and wonder.
