Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Park Nights 2025 presents Temporary Boyfriend an improvisational duet that stages the nuanced poetics of collaboration between artists Malcolm-x Betts and Nile Harris. Temporary Boyfriend brings together the shared performance language of Malcolm-x Betts and Nile Harris, developed through years of artistic exchange in works such as Niggas at Sundown (New York Live Arts) and this house is not a home (Abrons Arts Center). Staged within Marina Tabassums 2025 Serpentine Pavilion, this new iteration navigates the architectures of intimacy, proximity, and estrangement that shape their relationship. Traversing the Pavilion as both a stage and a container, Harris and Betts explore shifting terrains between Black gay kinshiptracing echoes of ancestral memory, the grief and legacy of the AIDS epidemic, and the fleeting solidarities of contemporary queer brotherhood. With live musical accompaniment by GENG PTP and scenic and lighting design by Dyer Rhoads, Temporary Boyfriend offers a live meditation on the tension and tenderness that binds two bodies in constant negotiation. Temporary Boyfriend was originally commissioned by the Chocolate Factory Theater, Pink Fang, and Under the Radar Festival.
