Grind/r

Piotr Trojan’s play is based on a number of recorded authentic meetings, arranged through a gay dating app – Grindr. The project pictures the other – hidden life of the metropolis, and at the same time explores the phenomenon of sex in the digital era. In the past, finding a suitable sexual partner demanded a lot of time and effort. Today it is one click away. What is the impact of new technologies on sexual relations? How do dating apps change the morality of our times? Is Grindr really where your dreams can come true? 

The performance is recommended for adults (over 18yo). Younger audience’s participation is subject to parent’s and/or legal guardian’s consent (please contact the education department: edukacja@trwarszawa.pl).
