If Telecom had not dropped the abstain campaign it would almost certainly have been blown out of the water by Dust Palace's exuberant paean to the joys of erotic indulgence.
The show opens with an explosively acrobatic dance duet that is counterpoised with a hypnotically seductive lyric on the delights of lilac wine.
This combination of extreme physicality and intense lyricism is a recurring motif as Venus Is searches for a way to define the goddess of love.
While there is a fair bit of X-rated material the show focuses on the point where eroticism shades into love and the interlocking of bodies becomes inseparable from the entwining of souls.
The show offers up a smorgasbord of theatrical forms with acrobatics, contemporary dance and puppetry interwoven with song, recitations and dramatic sketches.
