Details:
Various performances of the English-language play Cock will take place at the Théâtre des Capucins in Luxembourg-Ville, starting on Tuesday 14 May 2024.
This play by English playwright Mike Bartlett and this year directed by Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg associate artist, Anne Simon, started being put on in 2009. Since that first production, the Olivier Award-winning play has had two major UK revivals and seems differently relevant as issues that were not even discussed a decade ago of sexual fluidity and gender identification are now part of the wider consciousness.
The play portrays the story of John who, while taking a break from his long-term boyfriend, unexpectedly meets the woman of his dreams. As John tries to shed the labels he’s felt so comfortable with for a long time, the darkly comical forces of his indecision come to a head in a dramatic dinner party confrontation. Cock is an exploration of sexual identity in a world of endless possibilities. It is also a classic love triangle tale that depicts its central figure’s selfishness, cruelty and destructiveness.
Performances are scheduled for Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15, Friday 17, Tuesday 21 (followed by a Q&A), Wednesday 22, Thursday 23 and Friday 24 May 2024 at 20:00.
Janine Goedert will introduce the play (in English) 30 minutes before each performance. Rosa Lëtzebuerg will be present at the performances with an information stand.
Tickets cost €8, €15 or €20; Kulturpass welcome.
