Her class is illustrated by four short plays: The first, Connected, illustrates the revolution in emotional and sexual relationships between men with the advent of the Internet. Homo Phobia, deals with the nervous breakdown of a homophobe after a gay guy, who he physically abused, kisses him. For Love, shows how gay men were taken into concentration camps, tortured and killed in Chechnya in 2017. And the fourth short play, Come Together, shows how society accommodated the new acceptance of homosexual long-term relationships into civil partnerships and marriages, but at a cost. At the end of the class, Dyonne prepares the students for the practical sexual class in the afternoon, where the students will learn how to practice anal sex. Sex Between Men in the XXI Century is a play about how the reality of relationships between men in our time and all the absurdities that surround them could be analysed with the perspective of time.
