An award-winning performance called Sex Education Xplorers (S.E.X.) by artist and performer Mamoru Iriguchi comes to Lyth Arts Centre next month.
Packed with 1980s pop hits, surreal humour and creative use of props, costume and video, the show is described as a "playful new take on sex education" for young people aged 12+ and adults who missed the sex education they deserved at school.
The National newspaper says: “There are few theatre-makers working in Scotland today who have the creative imagination, the gloriously eccentric sense of humour and the brilliant comic delivery of Iriguchi.” Mamoru will reprise his role along with new performer Theo Seddon who will play 'Sam' and Sally Charlton playing the 'Stage Manager'.
The performance shares intersectional lived experiences from its LGBTQIA+ creative team and during its Edinburgh Festival Fringe run in 2021, a 14 year old audience member said that “all adults should see this show.”
The show won an Infallibles Award in 2021 for 'Best show for Young Audiences’. The judging panel said: “We felt this was a crucial, important and relentlessly entertaining show which managed to vehicle an important message and we wish for young audiences around the world to be able to see it.” and was also nominated for a Creative Edinburgh Award in the 'Creativity Category’ and a CATS Award for ‘Best Production for Children and Young People’.
