sex speedrun to eternal happiness

Theatrical game night, heterohorror

by Thalia Noah Schoeller and Lulu Bogenberger

Lulu Bogenberger and Noah Thalia Schoeller, THE straight dream couple par excellence, invite you to the domestic castle for an evening of games for couples. In a mix of performance, conversation and playing together, the sex speedrun to eternal happiness deals with the dehumanizing aspects of couple relationships and the pressure that this construct exerts on people when they are at their most vulnerable.

Running in parallel is 24/7heterohell, a 24h+ continuous cinema that regurgitates in an uninterrupted stream the undigested romantic narratives that stylize the image of heterosexual marriage as the goal of every successful life. It can be visited at any time during and after the performances.

ATTENTION: The play is very immersive and interactive, there is no separation between audience and performers. You will be an active part of the action and have a significant influence on the evening. You will be treated by us as a pair unit. An uncomfortable, slightly creepy atmosphere builds up within the piece.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Explicit sexual content, body horror, mental illness, trauma, mention of psychological and sexualized violence

Co-directed by Thalia Noah Schoeller, Lulu Bogenberger | Stage by Joe Bogner Carbó

Thalia Noah Schoeller (*2003) studies in the performance department at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and works as a director in the independent theater scene. They is particularly interested in installation works that dissolve the separation between audience and performers and turn the social situation itself into a space for negotiating political realities. They are part of the theater meta-discourse through audience discussions, professional articles, an interview podcast called "Zu jung für's Theater" (Too young for the theater) and workshop leadership and in this context deal a lot with adultism. Thalia runs the writing workshop at the Schauburg Munich and the OPEN HOUSE project at the PATHOS Theater, works for the "SPIELART" festival and is part of queer:raum.

Lulu Bogenberger works as a director, actress and musician in the independent theater scene. Time and again, she has been involved in projects that were practically created out of nothing and realized without a budget. Most of these projects dealt with critical topics that are often avoided. Lulu Bogenberger has acted in numerous plays, directed many, written plays, performed and composed. She comes from a large family of artists and grew up with this craft. Her main goal is to uncover truths through art and make them visible and tangible.
