Jocasta feels uneasy. Her son Oedipus, who has been trying to sleep with her for millennia, has multiplied, and now the whole world wants to f*** her.

Antisex
The father’s law no longer exists (the f***er just took off), and the Young Liberals have been challenging the incest ban since 2020.
Whether Iokaste actually wants to sleep with her son—no one ever asked her that. Frustrated, Jocasta sets out in search of her own subject position, but instead encounters: a group of cheerleaders who no longer know who they’re actually cheering for. A polycule she desperately wants to be part of. And a few young men who believe a ban on masturbation is the solution to everything.
“Antisex” explores contemporary desire. The play specifically examines the role of “women”: What images of them emerge in the digital dating market, in right-wing chat groups, 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 desire oneself amidst this chaos?
Hampel / Helbig / Kießling creates theater that challenges grand gestures. With feminist aspirations and their 4-meter-high stage set, the newly founded GbR enters the independent theater scene and, for starters, talks about sex. Or: speaks out against the status quo.
