Sweetmeat
How far would you go to fulfil your fantasy?
Sigmund has been tormented by sadistic desires since childhood, fuelled by online echo chambers and tenuously restrained by SSRIs. When his fiancée breaks off their engagement and he loses his flat, he moves in with Christian, an eccentric librarian with a painful past. As their shared obsessions come to the fore, their relationship mutates from companionship to love to something intense and terrifying.
With video projection and elements of verbatim theatre and folklore, Sweetmeat is a sizzling new story created by a majority queer team that touches on gay loneliness, fantasy, pain, and internet escapism through the lens of a love that burns too bright.
