Bondage games all too often take on heteronormative forms—which is fine, but we want to explore how we can get creative and experience something completely different for a change. Queering—as a verb—represents the joy of a whole spectrum of: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, unsettling, celebrating, experimenting, fluidifying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, showing solidarity, mixing, standing by oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming... At the QUEER BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give creativity more space in general by…

Michaël Reinhold invites the fictional characters he has developed over many years to join him in conversation. With a keen eye, he captures social patterns of speech and behavior that mask taboos and uncomfortable feelings. Sometimes he imitates them; other times, he exaggerates them to the point of unbearability. His personas are loud, playful, unpredictable—sometimes more animal, sometimes more child. As the audience, we are free to listen to their conversations, follow their train of thought, or join in.

Rope bondage is for everyone!
However, that hasn’t necessarily been the case at our usual Bondage Jam so far, because things there often end up being quite conventional and heteronormative—and that certainly doesn’t suit everyone.
That’s why we’re now launching the WINTA JAM!
WINTA for “Women, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender,” and this special jam is primarily about creating a space where people WINTA as WINTA can simply be among themselves. So basically, it’s quite simple: people who do not WINTA as WINTA are asked to stay away from the event.
