This event takes place in person at Battersea Arts Centre

Queer punk duo, pink suits, invite you into an immersive performance of intimacy, pain, pleasure, and grief – set inside a wandering and personal art installation.

In Dance Me To The End Of Love, pink suits subvert their signature political protest performance style to present a softer but equally poignant look at their relationship as two artists, lovers, collaborators and friends.

Against the backdrop of a live Leonard Cohen album, pink suits show a side to themselves rarely seen in their work or in protest punk music. A softer, more intimate performance. Not holding up a mirror to the world, but holding up a mirror to their world.

Their private world. Their secret life. Coming to you from just the other side of intimacy.
