A sweaty perf*romance

Cindy + Me

The pri(n)ce* is hot — who gets it tonight? In fairy tales, people chop off a toe, here they play for it*. In a mixture of Cinderella and The Bachelor, the candidates outdo each other in all kinds of absurdities. In the end, it's not the doves who decide, but the audience, but only one can be happy forever and ever.

A queer evening with four candy dates and a shark in the pants: Everything is allowed, but no one is bitten. A show that will have been sweaty.

Marja Christians and Isabel Schwenk sweated their way into the hearts of their audience. A (market-)resistant aesthetic and intense contact with the audience are their skills. Julia*n Meding uses power relations against herself. She invites the audience to lustful confrontations and contradictions.

Burçak Konukman is a performer, teacher and visual artist from Istanbul. With his sharp eye on economic structures in the art business, he looks deep into your eyes and says: Wow — beautyful eyes!

Press

“These four get right to the point.”

— HiAZ, 20.06.2018

“The performers dance, sing and moan on a black plastic foil. Everything is superficial, but that fits the format(...), gladly raunchy, always funny.”
