For all their lovers, suitors, friends, sweethearts, concubines, darlings, admirers, flirts, crushes, DEMIMMONDE is throwing a night of performances, screenings and music in the former swingers club La Porte des Sens - a space of sexual and social transgression, and a metaphor for promiscuous interdisciplinary couplings.

The evening program is going to unravel in three chapters: La Porte de l'Impudence, with works presenting radical perspectives on eroticism and sexuality; La Porte de la Dissidence, featuring dissident artistic practices that break with hegemonic narratives; La Porte de Non-Sens, delving into the humorous and surreal aspects of sex.

DEMIMMONDE’s inaugural event on St. Valentine's day teases and mocks the highly ritualised system of swinging culture and romantic anniversaries' celebrations. By introducing classical music and references to surrealism, DEMIMMONDE reclaims these 'high' cultural expressions and presents them alongside the hedonistic pleasures of burlesque and techno music in the weirdest queer contemporary art event of all times.
