The performance introduces a shapeshifter to dating apps.
Sex is now as much digital as it is physical; we’ve become interacting algorithms. Can we break the code that locks us into limiting patterns?
In the performance Zero Feet Away, theatre makers Tibau Beirnaert & Laurens Aneca explore the impact of hookup apps. They delve into how these apps reveal both the possibilities and the constraints of modern technology. They question whether the apps can create a new landscape of desires and challenge traditional, heteronormative structures.
The story is told from the perspective of a shapeshifter who craves sex and intimacy. To fulfill these longings the creature turns to hookup apps. Does the shapeshifter, who merely mirrors what others demand of them, eventually find their own form(s)?
