Artifakt from Vancouver B.C., Canada presented Home Cumming starring Magalie Rouillard-Bazinet. The show is about a woman who has lost her ability to have an orgasm.
So much of her life was validated by passionate relationships, sometimes multiple sexual relationships at a time. Seated in front of the audience Magalie was boisterously sexual at times lying on the chair to demonstrate her awkward but athletic sexual positions to hilarious effect. I found her energy on stage delightful.
Though young, her many sexual encounters and her hunt for more made her like a cougar, ready to pounce. When horny, Magalie would flirt like a master. Her sexuality would exude out of every pore. But underneath the bold sexual advances there was vulnerability and insecurity.
Her identity became so tied to her sexuality that she lost sight of who she was. Always having men in her life meant that they defined who she was based off what they wanted from her. It was only when she could learn to love herself that she could find a road to inner peace and happiness.
When Magalie discovered that there are passions outside of sex, she could recover her joie de vive.
