PLEASURE

Back

By Criptonite

We dive into a night of pleasure. Criptonite is a crip-queer theatre project by Edwin Ramirez and Nina Mühlemann. In their current guises as Dionysus and Medusa, they invite the audience into the underworld. Surrounded by the rivers of hate, lamentation, fire and oblivion, we find ourselves on the islands of pleasure, where pain, pleasure and kink meet. What does it mean to negotiate consensual giving and receiving in a pleasurable way, through movement and care? Where do we find moments of pleasure despite pain or exhaustion? On a large soft bed, Criptonite interweave Greek mythology with their own experiences and blur the boundaries between mythical creatures and ego, lust and shame, sensuality and monstrosity.
