On Pleasure: A night of storytelling

  • 292 Brunswick Avenue Toronto, ON, M5S 2M7 Canada (map)

Tranzac Club

292 Brunswick Ave., Toronto

Simone De Beauvoir says, “Pleasure in women is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken.” The full extent of women’s pleasure often exists in the spaces that go unnoticed, in the sentences left unsaid. Do we dare speak our desires? Deserve gratification? Wish to be delighted? What keeps us from pleasure? How does our relationship to pleasure change throughout our lives?

With/out Pretend invites 10 storytellers to the stage to share a story about their relationship to pleasure:

Andrea Werhun, Yemisi, Jaime Eisen, Brooke Manning, Jamie Milay, Suz Ellis, Kirthan Aujlay, Maria Isabel Martinez, Priyanka Saju, Farrah Abdel-Latif
