This event ran from 20.04.2023 to 22.04.2023. But wait, there's always more at Kanal! Check out the calendar.

Dries Verhoeven examines the growing popularity of chemsex—the combination of drugs and sex—and what he calls the "narco-sexual revolution", decades after gay liberation. Set in a deserted area of the city, the audience circles a building where seven aroused men are taking drugs, determined to rebel against social norms. On the living room couch, in the bedroom, in the shower, they talk, snuggle up to each other, and embrace until they are overcome.
