Party Scene is a collaboration between choreographer Philip Connaughton and writer/director Phillip McMahon, with a company of incredible performers, that celebrated the sweaty high of the session but asked tough questions about drugs, sex, consent and mental health in the queer community. Looking at Chemsex through an objective lens the shows aim was to spark conversation around identity, self-worth, isolation, homophobia, family and care within the LGBTQ+ community.

Delving into the underbelly of queer culture, THISISPOPBABY presents an unflinching and provocative new dance-theatre show about desire, intimacy, isolation and addiction. Part urgent gathering, part explosive event, Party Scene asks: when does an underground scene become a community crisis, and when is it time for the party to end?
