Bodies we fall for

Nayia T. Karacosta

70 minutes

Theater hall

Two young women share their authentic, tender, and inclusive truth about love and sexuality live on stage. Based on real-life experiences, this documentary performance raises questions about first kisses, dating, sex, and digital encounters—but above all: Do all bodies have equal access to love?

»Bodies we fall for« is an accessible documentary performance about love presented in the Cypriot-Greek dialect and characterized by creative forms of accessibility, such as integrated audio description, sign language interpretation, surtitles, tactile guidance, and multisensory elements. With tenderness, humor, and unvarnished honesty, the evening explores love as a means of access—as a political, deeply personal, and at the same time universal act of resistance.

After the show, there will be a 30-minute break, followed by an artist talk (40 minutes), with DGS (German Sign Language) interpretation and whisper interpretation in German. Host: Yulia Yáñez Schmidt

Part of the NO LIMITS Disability & Performing Arts Festival.
