Night Stage

"Extravagant and subversive." - The Guardian

By day, Matias is a fiercely ambitious young actor navigating the cutthroat world of theatre in Porto Alegre. Rafael is a mayoral candidate projecting authority and respectability to the voters who will decide his future.

By night, they are something else entirely.

It begins simply - a dating app, a hookup, no strings attached. But something clicks between them as they discover a shared hunger for risk, for exposure, for the exquisite thrill of being watched, what began as a casual encounter transforms into an obsession. As both pursue their dreams of greater fame and recognition they become increasingly addicted to the thrill of risk, seeking out more dangerous encounters even as the stakes grow higher.

Gabriel Faryas and Cirillo Luna are incendiary in NIGHT STAGE. Wild chemistry, erotic tension, obsessive sex - every frame is electric. The film is gorgeous, dangerous, and unapologetically queer.
