Presented as part of the cultural programme of Amsterdam Pride 2004.
Aputheatre,
was established in 1989 in Brighton, England as a cultural response to
Aids. The company now has a broader objective to present work that questions
sexual roles in society and explores the margins of sexuality. Now based
in Amsterdam the company works and tours in Europe against a backdrop
of increasing conservatism in the West and outright homophobia in many
parts of the East, John Roman Baker director of ‘Things Happen’
explains: “This kind of theatre is necessary to increase awareness
of the frightening clash of cultures which could destroy not only our
sexual freedoms but impose harsh regimes upon us.”
