"a clever conceptualization of the online experience... Hackerlove is never less than wildly entertaining and often laugh-out-loud funny" - Drew Rowsome

Buddies’ founding artistic director returns with a theatrical fantasy inspired by Bradley Manning and Adrian Lamo that imagines a queer love affair between two fictional characters in the midst of the 2010 WikiLeaks scandal. This poetic experiment in fictional history asks what happens when gay love and national security collide.

An impressive ensemble of dancers break the lines between cultures in a scintillating celebration of sexuality. Choreographer Hari Krishnan offers a double-bill of contemporary dance works that revel in sex and celebrate the beauty in all of us.

This year, we are celebrating our 35th anniversary with a challenge: to get 350 people to invest in our future.

Now on Sale: Green Porno, Live on Stage
June 6-8 at Luminato Festival

Conceived and Performed by Isabella Rossellini
Imagine the art of seduction on an arthropodan or elephantine scale. Such is the orgasmic, orgiastic and occasionally acrobatic bent of internationally acclaimed actress Isabella Rossellini’s vibrant invasion of zoological boudoirs, based on her short Green Porno films for the Sundance Channel. A lifelong lover of animals, Rossellini dons costume versions of their fur, skins, scales and wings for this delightfully insightful, Day-Glo examination of the quirks, curiosities and frequently fatal risks of sexuality and reproduction across a spectrum of species.
