Juxtaposing the politics and practices of cruising and spaces of production (the workplace), this live performance via Zoom explores some of the complexities involved in cruising for gay men. CRUISE aims not only to highlight for the viewer different scenarios in which and how gay male dating occurs, but also to encourage the viewer to think about cruising as a ‘relational activity’ that deserves to be fully investigated. Building on what Jonny Symons suggests above, I hope the film will prompt the viewer to consider what I suggest is the fraught optical nature associated with gay sex. In other words, I hope the performance will prompt the viewer to think about what might happen through the lens of desire during the moment/encounter in which two gay men gaze at each other. I suggest that by dissecting this lens in relation to homosexuality and desire that this performance addresses, we can gain some really productive (and sometimes potentially uncomfortable) insights into the complex nature of the relationships that cruising produces and constantly reproduces. The ZOOM performance starts on a train, moves to the office and the online cruising world, then outside in the bushes, on the street or anywhere two guys can see each other and continues in a pub in London where I draw on my own personal experience of being there as a cruiser in the early 2000s. Then it goes into the bushes, on the plane and ends in Starbucks and the London Underground.
