Impressions
An adventure game in the realm of puberty
Four adolescents skip sex education classes. In the school toilet, two of them prefer to smooch and eat two yum-yum noodles. Instead, they suddenly find themselves in an adventure game, which is ruled by an opaque game master and confronts the four adolescents with almost unsolvable tasks. Or how do you get a slug to reproduce? However, whoever knows everything about sex, will always think of something. The group does not only have to struggle with the game tasks. There are other challenges waiting for them: Hormones that are hot on their heels and have the task of dissuading them from reaching the final level of the game and therefore freedom. They cause chaos within the group, slow one down, drive the other, make aggressive and melodramatic at the same time. The group pulls itself together, and so the relationships between the young people change in the course of the game. They have to learn that all of this is not so easy with their own body, sexual diversity, shame and crazy hormones. They always appear just when they are least of all usable. Game on!
Kirsten Fuchs creates a bizarre and funny piece about puberty, first desire, sexual diversity and the difficulties of growing up.
