Performance: Whor3house Theatre

In the organizer's words:

A performance by sw_of_cgn

Age recommendation: 18+

We open the Whorehouse Theatre - a rousing, political, funny, spicy show that invites you to engage with the experiences and perspectives of S*xworkers. Somewhere between theater, cabaret, striptease and political struggles, the S*xworkers of Cologne show their very individual perspectives on their profession and everyday working life, question power relations in intimate and social contexts, deconstruct normative role attributions and address the ongoing stigmatization of S*xwork. S*x work is not presented as an object of external attributions, but as a self-determined, diverse practice at the center of a feminist and emancipatory debate. The show sees itself as an artistic-political contribution that makes intimacy visible as a socially relevant category and clearly formulates the message: Intimacy is political, s*xwork is political - and this performance transforms both into a form of erotic activism.

NOTES:

CN: The show contains explicit nudity and hints of s*xual acts as well as non-explicit thematization of gender dysphoria + (sexualized) violence.

Duration: approx. 70 min.

Language: The show is mainly in German spoken language with individual passages in English. An English translation will be provided if required.

There will be moderately loud music and lighting effects (no strobe)
