Bondage play all too often takes 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 activities: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, unsettling, celebrating, experimenting, fluidifying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, showing solidarity, blending, being true to 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 ist für alle da!
Allerdings ist das bei unserer gewöhnlichen Bondage Jam bisher nicht unbedingt der Fall gewesen, denn oft läuft dort so manches dann halt doch recht konventionell und heteronormativ – und das passt nun ganz bestimmt nicht für alle.
Deshalb gibt es nun also die FINTA BONDAGE JAM!
FINTA steht für "Frauen, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender" und bei dieser besonderen Jam geht es in erster Linie darum einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem als FINTA sich identifizierende Menschen, einfach unter sich sein können. Im Grunde ist es also ganz einfach: Menschen, die sich nicht als FINTA begreifen, bleiben der Veranstaltung bitte fern.
