What would you do if the life you always dreamed of came at a price you never expected?
Alex meets a captivating woman who is everything she’s ever wanted. Taylor opens the door to a thrilling new world... but what if it’s all a trap?
Cult Play immerses the audience in Alex’s journey and the seductive power of belonging. In revealing her dark archive, Alex invites you to step into a thought experiment that questions the boundaries between voyeur and participant.
Queer, enticingly playful and unapologetically bold, Cult Play is a multimedia solo show that explores the complex interplay of desire and deception, complicity and choice.
Named one of the “Best Plays of 2025-26” by CULT MTL
“Cult Play triumphantly faces dark truths of the need for belonging ... Rexe’s masterful script blends physical performance, digital media, and audience interaction in an immersive experience that bleeds emotions out into the real world. ”
