Intimate and tender performance with food as a lubricant for sexual fantasy

How can béarnaise sauce teach us something about sexual desires? Berlin-based performer and creator Sophie Guisset seeks to find out for us. With 'Vanilla,' she explores the relationship between pleasure, sexual desire, and food.

Together with performers Enis Turan and Cee Füllemann, Guisset navigates through different rooms filled with sensual experiences. Personal and imaginary stories come to life with proteins - or is it lubricant? - apple pies, and sauces that arouse the performers. Along with a range of fetishes and stories, they ignite the imagination.

'Vanilla' looks beyond the boundaries of what we consider "normal" sexual behavior. With remarkable openness and playfulness, sexuality and fetishism are brought out of the shadows.
