It’s just another weeknight and Mum’s clattering in the kitchen, asking too many questions. Claude needs space. She slips into her room, locks the door, and disappears beneath the covers. The world transforms into a medieval fantasy of brooding knights, and damsels in distress. Just as the heat builds, Mum’s laugh slices through — but Claude won’t be stopped. She recasts herself as the knight, hero of her own fantasy, in charge of her pleasure.

Created in collaboration with disabled artists, The Knight is a surreal romantic comedy exploring the rich fantasy life of a young woman. Funny, bold and unapologetic, it’s about claiming independence, turning fantasy into agency, and asserting the right to be a sexual being — a delicious desire that refuses to be interrupted.
