Glory-Hole (2018)
1st part of the trilogy Ulf goes Religious
Premiered the 26th of January 2018, at Bærum Kulturhus (NO)
Glory-Hole
A naked man sits on his knees and peeks into a hole. On the other side a man lies motionless on the floor. Another man sits on the toilet while he’s slowly falling. These three men are in each their cubicle, separated, but together nonetheless. There are flowers on the floor. Muddled and pulsating rhythms hits the room. In this way a series of sensuous events related to sex and religion takes place.
In the trilogy Ulf goes Religious, sexuality and religion are explored. In part 1 lust and pain in the encounters between men, are connected to the longing for something more. For something higher. The profane and holy walks hand in hand in this queer and weightless room. Ulf takes the audience on a journey outside of time and space, and into a bodily universe of instincts and openness.
