Olympia

Jäckie Rydz

60 minutes
Sports hall

In the performance »Olympia«, Jäckie proves their ability to compete in the Olympic pentathlon by drawing a parallel to the rigorous application process they had to navigate to access gender-affirming care as a non-binary person in Germany.

Jäckie Rydz is a non-binary theater maker. Through poetic texts and immersive stage design, they explore gender and the unwritten rules that shape society.

An audio description in German for blind and visually impaired audiences will be offered for the performance on June 19. Further information can be found here in the audio flyer (also in German):
