We Pull The Trigger

Overview

We Pull The Trigger is a roving portrait of togetherness in motion. A kinky ensemble falls, collides, and caresses — queering relationships to the city, each other, and to you. We blur the boundaries between watching, being watched and joining up. When everything falls apart, what else do we have but you and me?

Before the show, you’re invited to make a bracelet to add to the community basket.

Audience participation

This is a free-range performance across a large, flat space. Choose your point of view: move close, step back, shift around, or settle in. How you witness is entirely up to you.

Participation is optional, signaled by a bracelet. Wearing a bracelet means you’re open to interaction, if and when it happens. No bracelet tells the performers you’d prefer to observe without interaction. You can change your mind anytime by slipping one on or off.

The venue is ADA accessible. Audience members with mobility devices are welcome to roam or make use of designated viewing areas. Suggested audience age is 16+.
