Fuck Marry Kill?

a performance about the power of true encounters
FUCK MARRY KILL – Seven performers from seven cultural backgrounds embark on a search for Kairos – that fleeting, perfect moment when anything seems possible. The provocative title – known in the Anglo-American world as a party game – stands for the endless possibilities hidden in every encounter we experience. Don’t we all secretly long for real connection? And how often do we let such chances pass us by?
Yet we always have a choice...
Kill might mean never engaging at all; Marry stands for a deeper commitment; and Fuck for a brief but intense – and perhaps life-changing – interaction. Every person holds a universe within, if only we dare to truly see them.
FUCK MARRY KILL invites you into an open space of togetherness – a performative setting where monologue, dialogue, music, dance, and performance merge into free play. We speak directly to you – without pressure or forced audience participation, but with the shared sense of creating something truly unique in this moment.Look forward to a diverse ensemble of artists from Egypt, the USA, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Colombia, Mexico, Palestine, the Czech Republic, and Uganda – bringing their cultures, stories, and perspectives into a powerful collective process.“FUCK MARRY KILL” moves fluidly between humor and seriousness, lightness and depth – capturing life in all its vividness and unpredictability.
