The Associate Artist relationship supports the making of THE EDGE OF ME.
THE EDGE OF ME is a synth-pop odyssey following a young man who gets lost and found again in Britain’s BDSM underworld. Kit can’t contain himself. He’s tried, but he is overflowing with desires he doesn’t know how to tame or even how to name. That is until he uncovers a hidden community and a playground of possibility where he’s free to explore. But when his secret world goes public, Kit must build a new relationship to the world around him and the world inside his mind.
Accompanied by a supergroup of shape-shifting, synth-playing monsters who live beneath his bed, Kit wants to tell his story for you tonight. A genre-bending, playful new musical with a big heart, exploring power dynamics and the complexity of human sexual desire.
