The first episode of (W/HOLE) begins with a bite and tunes into pleasure as we take our first steps into the sensual epic. In a brick-walled room bathed in soft light, Trouble Clef bites an apricot, and suddenly (W/HOLE) transports you. Ten performers move together through the space, pulling you in, and pulling you under. Then, dipping just below the surface of a memory as it surges up from the subconscious, they tune into their pleasure, narrating their experiences. They describe their actions' sounds and smells, their warmth and sharpness, communicating moments of desire, and release, and relief. It is quiet, loud, exuberant, and tearful. Then it's over, and (W/HOLE) begins.
