Contact is a song that only appeared in the musical version of RENT. It represents the sex lives of the couples and is performed by the full company.
Lyrics
(The COMPANY forms two main groups. As the music begins, a group of dancers start a sensual life and death dance, while a group of actors gather around a table center stage to speak words of passion which punctuate the dancing. Eventually, the actors converge on the table and cover themselves with a white sheet, while moving to the music.)
