Performing Shibari Express @ UNITHEA #18

Performing at UNITHEA Festival in Frankfurth Oder at Theater des Lachens yesturday. This time with Schnucki das Rennpferd.

The audience was sitting on stage, close by, in a ritualistic way. I guess the challenge of this Shibari Express episode was to present the ‘male’ as the object of lust (is this correct English?;)

Exposing and exploring him/the ‘male’ body and its feminine side. Doing that in a floor work situation was more challenging than we thought. The last two gigs with Schnucki being suspended, overwrite a lot of the sensitive moments, and silent details. Its more spectacle. ‘But this one dealt with intimicy in a very different way’, we said, when the Polish journalist asking us later, while we were still pulling the ropes of the body.

UNITHEA is a German-Polish Theatre Festival, held in Frankfurth Oder, Edition #18. So the topic was somewhat becoming adult.

The folowing three hour workshop was very. 8 students did rope work for the first time, and there was a lot of laughing and chatting while step by step learning the technique.
Here some performance moments.
