Pleasure - Criptonite
We descend into a night of pleasure. Criptonite is a crip-queer theatre project by Edwin Ramirez and Nina Mühlemann. In their current manifestations as Dionysos and Medusa, they invite the audience into the underworld. Surrounded by the rivers of hatred, wailing, fire and oblivion, we find ourselves on the islands of pleasure, celebrating the intersection of pain, pleasure and kink. What does it mean to negotiate consensual giving and receiving together in a pleasurable way, through movement and care? Where do we find moments of pleasure despite pain or exhaustion? On a big soft bed, Criptonite interweave Greek mythology with their own experiences and blur the boundaries between mythical creatures and self, lust and shame and sensuality and monstrosity. With sensual guest from: Anajara Amarante, Kübra Senkin, Marilyn Nova White und Noa Winter.
