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.
