Playhouse

Playhouse is an event which offers a chance for reconnecting with our bodies and desires. A space for letting go, a safer meeting place with a different rhythm. In Playhouse there is a guided programme where you are invited to make new connections through physical contact with other visitors.

In Playhouse this can be for example a hug, a slow dance, or gentle fight through which we practice consent and expressing our desires. Everything happens with your consent and you are free to choose which encounters you want to take part in. All it takes is to follow simple instructions guided by the artists and freely join in the activities in progress. There are no requirements for participation: you don’t need to have any special skills or experiences to take part, just curiosity.

You can visit Playhouse on different days during the festival. Visitors can come in and leave the space at any time when Playhouse is open, but please be respectful of what’s going on while entering and exiting.
