WINK'N TWINK

Premiere: Juli 2018, TiK Nord, Berlin
Guest performance: PUGS IN LOVE – Queer Weekend 2018, Maxim Gorki Theater

Welcome to the recording studio of BR*OTHER ISSUES!

In WINK’N TWINK the exhibitionist twins Jchj and Moritz are looking for a ray of hope in the repetitive forms of action of their generation: Twinks* have to do nothing and are allowed to do everything. Are they young and naive, busy with selfies and acting selfishly, not solidaric and self-absorbed? Whoever is assigned these attributions must also deal with them! The brothers work off their whiteness, sexualities, stupidity and of course passivities. But until Upload is finally pressed and the show goes online, the two still have to sit on a lot of fists….

MORITZ: I’m not 12 anymore today and have to scream my gayness on the street!
JCHJ: Now you’re doing it on a stage, in a secured setting.
MORITZ: Soon on the Internet, too!
JCHJ: Eat a dick…
MORITZ: Already did!

Twink is a term in gay lingo for a young-looking, slender, usually white, effeminate man with minimal body and facial hair. A twink is passive, sweet, cream-filled, and of little nutritional value.

“I laughed tears and yet was also moved to tears when Jchj and Moritz suddenly seem very fragile while reporting their first sexual experiences without taboos.” (Jonas Fischer, litaffin.de)
