Portals of Glitch suck you into an eternal loop of experiencing bodies, minds and
thoughts. The game is a safe platform for an infinite number of non-heteronormative gender positions which share a meaning
of queer in the sense of political attitude towards critique of power and a life beyond heteronormativity.
This generates
and opens up new perspectives for the player, for you. “We refuse to be moulded into the hegemonic form of a binary body.”
The world within a world is instantly familiar, full of ambitions, wishes and desires through strong and sensitive collaboration
with the all-important issue of all-gender-equality, gender transformation and definition of gender. As more protagonists
gather in GLITCHBODIES the resolution of gender in the world rises higher and higher!
Let us merely invite you to immerse
with us in an exciting live play, live sound and live performance evening to celebrate the game engine which creates safety
by ritualizing the celebration of all protagonists within the world, as a mother would and suck you in.
