Progressive Touch

2020 · 13 min

A playful, cerebral experiment that turns sex into choreography and comedy, inviting you to watch bodies and rhythms collide in witty, absurd scenes.

Directed by: Michael Portnoy
Genres: Romance, Music, Comedy
Starring: Tizo All, Ilona Bankiraj, Marc Philipp Gabriel

Overview: Sex as dance and comedy: in Progressive Touch Portnoy studies and expands the relationship between sex, choreography and composing music. He introduces complex compositions from progressive rock and math metal during sex, thereby combating the ostensible simplification of rhythm in human movements and gestures. A group of actors perform the new moves in three slapstick-like scenes. Worth trying at home.
