Handsome Young Doctor: A show about trust

About

Handsome Young Doctor is a show in which trust ' in manifest form and places of greater safety, in amorous encounters and visions of the future ' is solicited, given, and now and then disgraced. Suffused with muted atmospheres of sex and sci-fi, the exhibition is concerned not so much with diagnosis as with bedside manner. The title Handsome Young Doctor does not necessarily denote medical subject matter (there are no pills or scalpels here), but rather the thing we seek in times of trouble, the thing that offers cure or comfort, the face that commands our needful faith.
