DORIAN, picture of an insatiable is a queer adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The picture of Dorian Gray, directed by Igor Alvarez Cugat and written by Josephine Scholte, supported by live music. A modern Dorian Gray (played by Rowan Kievits) discovers his beauty when a befriended painter portrays him. In his desire for an eternal youth, he gets absorbed by the nightlife.
He discovers where his desirability can take him and he throws himself in brief romances with men, often intoxicated. Meanwhile he carries a big secret: while he loses nothing of his juvenile allure, his reflection in the painting gets uglier. When slowly he gets estranged from everyone around him and himself, his urge to endless pleasure takes a dangerous spin.
A psychological trip full of questions about aesthetics and ethics, pleasure, happiness and manifacturability.
