How about we make a show to enrich your sex life? Let's make room for playful fantasies and unknown desires, possibilities without a predetermined outcome.

Current sex education is limited to simple information about pregnancy, STIs, erections and (the horror of) AIDS. If you have sex, you will get pregnant and die. No more condoms on bananas and lists of disease risks! How can we play with sex? Pick up the dildo and write your way out of history. Are you ready?

Countersex Education is a performance which explores the boundaries of musical and alternative sex education in order to reach an orgasmic climax together with the audience: an edgy performance for a broad audience, whether you are cis, queer, young or old.

Maxime Dreesen graduated as a director from the Toneelacademie Maastricht in June 2019. Their work deals with gender, sexuality and queer eroticism. In their work Maxime starts from autobiographical experiences and translates them into universal, emancipating and political stories. Maxime was also the driving force behind the youth project Youth for Sex.
