Between You and Me

Duration: approx. 60min.

Chinese arts centre in Manchester, UK, 2009

Live performance

In this performance I am curious to ask very direct private questions, which focus on personal sexuality. The questions concern sexual matters that I think are on people’s minds, but in daily life they generally avoid asking.

I approach the audience individually and whisper so that we can have a private conversation. Some people are generally quite surprised by the questions and everyone responds differently.

For example:

How many sexual partners have you had?

Have you ever cheated on your current partner?

How often do you masturbate?
