About
SISSY: Advice to the young. It's only dress-up. Don't let it ruin your life.
Three boys, hunting on palace grounds, spot a girl. Two strangers skate together on the frozen River Thames. A young man and a married crossdresser meet for a playdate. Centuries pass, and Orlando has just bought a plane ticket to Neukölln, Berlin.
Part pornographic bildungsroman, part frosted fever dream, Orlando: A Pornobiography is a restless transmission across time. Gliding between the surreal and the hyperreal, this unruly epic sees the 16th Century ring a phone sex hotline to find the 21st Century on the other end of the line, asking for a body capable of surviving its own desire.
Across erotic entanglements, historical ruptures, and queer intrusions, an ensemble of transfemme performers tear through Virginia Woolf's Orlando in this brazen anti-adaptation, a world premiere from award-winning duo piss / CARNATION.
