FischHerz

In the organizer's words:

Puppet show

FischHerz is an object theater piece that seeks to renegotiate the politics of desire.

Almost everyone wants to be desired, but is desire possible without objectification? Is it an intrinsic part of desire, or only of heteronormative desire? What does queer desire look like? Can it escape the mechanisms of this normativity in the context of hegemonic heteronormativity?

The politics of desire is complex, inextricably interwoven with the social structures that find their way into erotic contexts in order to be negotiated there. The private sphere is political. But what happens when one's own desires do not conform to one's own political ideas?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But who is this anonymous observer who watches over the norms of aesthetics? Who is desirable, for whom and why? How can we appropriate our own exhibition, gain sovereignty over the definition of our own beauty? Or do we merely reproduce the existing structures of exploitation?

FischHerz wants to explore these issues in a glamorous puppet show. All the gravity and seriousness wrapped up in silly slapstick. A fish princess in identity crisis, a singing heart that mimes the relationship guru, a burlesque jellyfish, a sea witch with an animatronic fish choir and many, many musical numbers. A fairy tale for adults! I take my audience on a journey of discovery in search of their own desires.
