Bareback Ink

A young man covets his asexual tattoo artist in this reimagining of the Ganymede myth, in which Zeus, the king of the gods known for his erotic escapades, takes the form of an eagle and abducts a young Trojan. Set in a nourish world of tattooing and sex, Bareback Ink pits two damaged men: Artist, an asexual man unable to connect, and Client, a hypersexual younger man, thus testing the limits of their unlikely relationship: a Ganymede who resists his Zeus. This production is presented as a part of the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe.
