Transient and Trifling - Brighton Fringe
Transient and Trifling
This is a show about human connection.

Transient and Trifling is taking BDSM out of the underground and onto the altar. Breaking away from the typical notion that kink performance must rely on fetish fashion and shock value, Transient and Trifling shines light on raw, vulnerable and visceral portrayals of BDSM.

A cabaret-theatre show that is as much a love letter as a call for change, this edition features four award-winning performers reflecting on their personal experiences and the history and culture that shapes the community today.
