GLITCHBODIES, is an experimental game that explores new feminism, LGBTQ+ Draq transformations and intimate sensitive portrayals of the more than 47 protagonists in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Zagreb and Bangkok- to be continued in London and Tokyo 2022. It is a play of transformation, a catwalk of vogeuism, exhibitionism & voyeurism. Declared as 'Virtual Pleasure Drama Art Game', the game contains intimate narratives and poems, which, with the help of new technologies such as 3D scans and virtual worlds, as well as conventional film footage, generate a new kind of game that fuses virtuality, digitality and reality.
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.
