kiss me just once more Michael Breslin
About This Show
A boy, or a young man, retires to his bedroom but cannot sleep. He awaits his mother’s goodnight kiss; she does not come. He enacts a ritual to summon her presence. He fails. A meditation on the relationship between queer sons and their mothers, this piece raises questions about growing up, psycho-sexual identification, and queer failure. The piece draws on a passage from Proust’s Swann’s Way, as well as a collection of classic western dramatic texts, to construct a movement and text-based ritual of self-revelation.
