ENG// Titscracker, a torturing device used in the Middle Ages becomes a tool for the exploration of the body together with its limits of feeling pleasure and pain. The melancholic body moves through space, investigating human fears and obsessions. Unfolding and continuously readapting to the narrative, the audience follows the performers, navigates through a limited area and eventually circles back to the beginning. The sound of accompanying chants and instrumental music reminds us of the vulnerable game between interaction and exploitation.
