PEEKABOO

What would your life look like if you could rediscover your sexuality in public space? PEEKABOO is a vision of a world transformed into a sex playground. A world in which music, hypnosis, drag text, and dance come together.

This universe depicts new ways of contact through ‘cruising’: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air. Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters. Curiosity and excitement are the common threads of this story, which brings together kinky comedy, campy musical songs, and intimate ASMR in a dreamy, Teletubby-esque landscape.
 
Maxime Dreesen is a Belgian theater maker known for groundbreaking explorations of sexuality, intimacy, and queer futures. With humor, sensuality, and provocation, they challenge societal norms and create space for collective liberation. Dreesen’s alter ego, Tabooboo, explores the interplay between the absurd and the erotic.

In 2022 and 2023, Maxime performed at Festival Cement with the production Countersex Education. Additionally, they hosted the BLUSH BLUSH parties in 2023 and 2024.
