The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), 220 E. Chicago Ave., will host the Chicago premiere of All the Sex I've Ever Had, a trailblazing performance that features six real-world Chicagoans older than 62 sharing their most intimate, successful and difficult timesall refracted through the prisms of their romantic and sexual lives.
The performance was created by Mammalian Diving Reflex, a Toronto-based performing arts group, and will run March 24-30 at the MCA. Cast members include Dion Walton, Dhamana Shauri, Robert Collin, Renee Elms, Barbara McBee, and Debra Allison.
First crushes, turbulent affairs, unexpected pregnancies and deaths of loved onesthe group members will share these stories and more during the 90-minute show (and there are certainly some queer elements as well). They will also engage freely with the audience, toast important milestones, and dance onstage. The whole time, the DJ Bonita Appleblunt will share the stage and play songs from each decade.
Tickets are on sale on MCAChicago.org or 312-397-4010. |
