IN THE LOUNGE Tinker Toy, Pinker Boy G.J. Dowding (Asylos)
About This Show
Tinker Toy, Pinker Boy transcends the soil and the sea, a levitation into clouds of pastel and fantasy, perched high above to reflect on reality below. Through spoken word & song-cycle, the show unveils the dreamland of the subconscious, an erotic fog that charms the space. Written by G.J. Dowding in musical collaboration with Felix and the Future, Tinker Toy, Pinker Boy undulates to the rhythmic pulse of nostalgia, queerness, relationships, sex, lust and evolution.
