Project selected for the 8th edition of the Amélia Rey Colaço Grants, an initiative promoted by A Oficina (Guimarães), O Espaço do Tempo (Montemor-o-Novo), Teatro Nacional D. Maria II (Lisboa) and Teatro Viriato (Viseu).
TOSHiiB4, a creation situated between non-fiction and fantasy, proposes an empirical re-examination of sexuality in the digital age. It unfolds in an oversized bedroom — welcoming the audience into this pyjama party — where the creator and three friends explore a space of sexual self-determination within a computer.
The performance reflects on childhood and adolescence — particularly for those who had a computer of their own — and on the obscurity of narratives omitted from conventional sex education.
TOSHiiB4 brings together four friends in the process of overcoming sexual, identity-related, and technological trauma, delicately navigating the boundaries between public and private, while opening itself to an intergenerational audience — one that is challenged in its beliefs rather than its sense of modesty.
