"Until a thousand roses bloom (with Warsaw in the background)" engages with the potential of desire, eroticism, sensuality, and touch. A choreography composed of gestures of erotic charge that might recall situations between friends, lovers, strangers. Bodies assemble in relations that never settle, always becoming, imbued with a sense of queer futurity. The work includes a billowing, suspended red fabric, a prop for burlesque performances, bringing to the foreground sensuality and reflecting on the ephemerality of queer gestures. The repetition of Urzula Sipinska’s 1971 titular ballad saturates the space with a nostalgia not for the past but for what remains possible. What is being cruised here is desire and eroticism itself.

This is a durational performance, where the audience is free to move around, enter, and exit the room.
