"Around the world, people love. They sing for love, they dance for
love, they compose poems and stories about love. They tell myths and
legends about love. They pine for love, they live for love, they K*ll
for love, and they die for love. Anthropologists have found evidence
of romantic love in 170 societies. They’ve never found a society
that did not have it." Helen Fisher, The Brain In Love.I Want To Know
What Love Is throws a spotlight on long-buried memories, bedroom
fantasies, crushes and conquests. Acclaimed Queensland performance
collective The Good Room asked members of the public to anonymously
submit their stories of love - fragments and memories, confessions and
admissions – and they’ve transformed those secret submissions into
magnificent declarations centre stage.Submission #87: “It’s been
years, but I still think of you and wonder ‘What could have
been?’” Submission #346: “I choose to say it did not fail. It
just finished.” Submission #302: “Jemma forever xo”Following a
sold-out premiere season in Brisbane Festival 2014 with Queensland
Theatre, the work had a subsequent sold-out return at Brisbane
Powerhouse’s Wonderland Festival in 2015, and a Melbourne season at
Provocare Festival in 2017. This thrilling production is on national
tour in 2018.This is for everyone who’s ever loved. Anyone who’s
ever hurt. This is for you.I Want To Know What Love Is has been
created using anonymous submissions from the general public –
declarations of love, secret confessions, and beautifully-personal
anecdotes and stories.Now you have the opportunity to submit your
story to The Good Room, to potentially be included in the show! Follow
