There will also be a dance interpretation by performance artist Lindsay Kemp, best known for his work with David Bowie and Kate Bush. As well as spectating, the audience are free to go onstage and immerse themselves in the production. The show will be followed by a Q&A session with the creators. ‘What Love Would Want’ was premiered in Soho, where it received glowing reviews from Stephen Fry and Peter Tatchell.
