Antisex

© Hampel / Helbig / Kießling

Iocasta is feeling uneasy. Her son Oedipus, who has been wanting to sleep with her for millennia, has multiplied, and now the whole world wants to have sex with her. The father's law no longer exists (the jerk simply ran off), and the Young Liberals have been challenging the incest taboo since 2020. But no one has ever asked whether Iocasta actually wants to sleep with her son. Frustrated, Iocasta sets out to find her own subjectivity, but instead encounters: a group of cheerleaders who no longer know who they're cheering for; a polycule who desperately wants to include her, and a few young men who believe a masturbation ban would solve everything. »Antisex« examines contemporary desire. The play specifically questions the role of a »woman«: What images of her are created in the digital dating market, in right-wing chat groups, and in the sex industry? What do these images have to do with the still-invisible care work of real women and mothers? And what does it mean to still desire amidst this chaos?

Hampel / Helbig / Kießling create theater against grand gestures. With a feminist agenda and their 4-meter-high stage set, the newly founded GbR (a type of German legal entity) enters the independent theater scene and begins by… talking about sex. Or: by challenging its status quo.
