Zero Feet Away

Zero Feet Away

Sex is now as much digital as it is physical; we’ve become interacting algorithms. Can we break the code that locks us into limiting patterns?
In the performance Zero Feet Away, theater makers Tibau Beirnaert and Laurens Aneca explore the impact of dating apps. They delve into how these apps reveal both the possibilities and the constraints of modern technology. They question whether these apps can create a new landscape of desires and challenge traditional, heteronormative structures.

The story is told from the perspective of a shapeshifter who craves human connection. To fulfill this longing, the creature turns to dating apps, which initially seems full of promise. As the shapeshifter goes from one date to the next, a tension grows between creativity and habit, pleasure and addiction.

“I want to function with techniques,
to experience the intensity of my desire through them,
to multiply my faces by metamorphosing my subjectivity, creating a body that is a revolutionary machine.” Paul Preciado
