Hey Sexy!

In the organizer's words:

What do we perceive as sexy or beautiful? Where do the images that shape these ideas come from and what expectations do they bring with them? How and why do we perform sexiness? When is it fun and even advantageous to be desirable, and when does it become a compulsion or even a danger?

The performance of sexiness and the sexualization of bodies are omnipresent in our everyday lives. While sex-positive parties are celebrated and pole dancing courses promise empowerment, the media and pornography sell 'perfect' bodies as consumer goods: there is a fine line between freedom, pressure to conform and repression. After all, sexiness always has to do with social norms; many bodies, identities and forms of expression remain invisible.

In interactive performances, the Turbo Pascal collective creates spaces for exploring and testing social issues, processes and utopias. Together with ten people from Dresden, the collective has investigated the topic of sexiness and the experiences and ideas associated with it. Together, they have founded an alternative nightclub that invites visitors to question, negotiate and re-experience their own views and existing norms. How can we reinvent images and narratives of sexiness together?

Duration of the performance: 1 hour and 50 minutes.
No intermission.

In HEY SEXY! the audience changes seats during the performance. There is interaction with the audience, all interaction is voluntary.
