You've seen them perform some saucy burlesque performances at local Hindley Street venue Nineteen Ten and now, the squad Fafi D'Alour & The Delinquents are debuting their show HÃœMAN at Nexus Arts for three nights only.
Walking into the dimly lit venue that replicated the vibe of a vintage speakeasy, audiences were treated to an hour of a non-narrative-driven dance performance from a variety of talented individuals, each of whom explored and expressed a myriad of forms of fetish. Through the flow of movement and a sensual soundtrack to flirt their way through an intriguing performance, audiences are thrown out of their comfort zone and made to experience how fetish can extend beyond the intimate touch with human flesh.
There are several elements of the show that will compel you to revisit your inner kinks, in addition to offering an alluring insight into the lesser-known yet equally inquisitive fetishes (both sexual and non-sexual) that will blur the lines around what it means to receive that satisfying gratification and euphoric feeling. Some love to feel / deliver pain, others are all about textures, and of course, a majority may enjoy indulging in a bit of self love (however that may be). Whatever your desire, this show aims to break down the barriers in enticing, exploring, and experimenting to your heart's content.
While the show may not yet be polished (and remember that this was a debut performance), it is a work in progress that is in the works to become a truly impressionable performance with a few tweaks (including a more seamless transition between the different acts and an improved sync to match the movements to the soundscape). With a stellar squad to mesmerize the audience with their flexible movements coupled with their highly animated facial expressions, HÃœMAN has the potential to unleash its bold and bursting energy and deliver the message about reclaiming one of the most basic of human instincts with powerful force.
