27 ALL THE SEX I’VE EVER HAD All The Sex I’ve Ever Had is what it is: a show about all the sex ever had by six of Melbourne’s senior citizens over the age of 65. But all the talk about sex is just an excuse to share something extraordinary: the older people get, the more courageous we are to accept and share our vulnerabilities. Across five performances audiences delighted in hearing a sexual history of Melburnians, stories of lives well lived and the enduring hardship, tragedy and understanding that is universal and constant. The show busted taboos and affirms the role of Melbourne Festival in showcasing the stories of those who are not often heard.
