‘le théâtre a toujours eu un problème avec le sexe.’
After premiering GOOD SEX in Dublin in 2022, and touring in Ireland, Germany and Holland, Dead Centre re-created the work in a new French-Language version with Théâtre de Liège.
Every night, 2 different Belgian actors were joined onstage by an intimacy co-ordinator, to tell a story of desire, loneliness and longing.
Good Sex premiered on 2025 at Theatre de Liege. It will tour in France during 2026.
For all touring info, please contact Caroline Gonce at Théâtre de Liège.
“"In Good Sex, Dead Centre has found a miracle formula in which the sex scenes are not only not disturbing, but on the contrary raise a host of fascinating questions about intimacy, love and consent, all wrapped up in a surprising and very funny play.
What if nothing in life is real, and everything is just choreography? What if this story of consent went beyond the physical and invited us to say ‘no’ more often in life, not just to unwanted sex, but to everything that gets in our way? In short, Good Sex is a play that's a blast to watch... and heady stuff too.”
