SXPLORATION is the place where sex is celebrated through a seductive line-up. For two weeks, we explore how sex can heal, liberate, and offer pleasure in times of censorship. At the same time, we examine how societal expectations around sex can trap us in an involuntary chokehold. Experiment freely in a safe environment and reflect on consent.
The Line Up
Striptopia | Dance
The most inclusive pop-up strip club, featuring international performers curated by Maggie Saunders. Through pole dance, drag, stripping, and performance, stigma is broken down, s*x work is celebrated, and strip culture is reimagined.
A pelo | Dance
A raw, sweaty duet by dancer Fernando Troya in which queer desire constantly takes on new shapes. From dominance to submission and from horny to raw.
Naked Recreation: Elemental
In this collective performance, norms are challenged, conflicting feelings have the space to breathe, and vulnerability becomes the ultimate form of expression.
Social partner of November:
SHOP The Hague
As a theatre, we want to connect with what is happening outside of Korzo. That is why, each month, we shine a spotlight on a different social partner—an organization you can support, and from which we, in turn, can learn:
Sex work is work, but it also raises questions, assumptions, and prejudices. SHOP is a knowledge and expertise centre specialising in sex work and human trafficking, dedicated to protecting the rights of sex workers and strengthening their position in society. During S*XPLORATION, SHOP invites you to broaden your perspective, stay curious, and take a closer look at your own assumptions.
During S*XPLORATION, you can discover This is Work, a photo exhibition by Francine van der Wansem about The Hague’s window brothels. We also share quotes from clients of sex workers, offering a glimpse into their perspectives on the work. In addition, we invite you to talk to sex workers and learn about their personal experiences. Meet people you might not otherwise get the chance to speak to in your daily life, and discover what happens when you approach each other’s worlds with curiosity.
