About this show
A young woman is attempting her first STI kit and this clinical act becomes a confession. Their ages, professions, maybe star signs? She clings to these superficial information as if they might offer explanations for her “mistakes” or “poor choices”. While she unfolds the quiet power dynamics that shaped her sexual history, the nature of the question transforms: ‘He’s six years older than me.’ So was he and so was he. How is that relevant in this situation, in this conversation, in this performance?

There is nowhere to hide behind theatrical illusion. It is uncomfortable, intimate and remarkably brave, turning something most of us would consider private and procedural into real theatre.
