Cavafy’s Caress is an intimate theatrical performance exploring the vibrant and passionate words and world of renowned Greek gay poet, Constantine P. Cavafy (1863-1933). A graceful collection of some of Cavafy's greatest poems are arranged to create a story that gives the audience a sensuous glimpse into his relationship with sexuality, memory, youth, and the love of beauty.

The performance was created by and features Los Angeles based multimedia performing artist and writer, Jason Jenn. The show is approximately 1 hour in length and contains adult themes.

"He who wishes to strengthen his spirit
Must abandon reverence and submission
He will honor some laws,
But mostly he will break both law and custom
And he will stray from the accepted, inadequate straight path
He will be taught much by sensual pleasures
He will not fear the destructive act;
Half the house must be torn down
This way he will grow virtuously toward knowledge."

"Growing Strong", C.P.Cavafy
