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. Set in an oversized bedroom — including the audience in this pyjama party — the creator and two friends explore a space of sexual self-determination inside a computer. The performance reflects on adolescence — particularly that of those who had a computer of their own — and on the obscurity of narratives omitted from conventional sex education. TOSHiiB4 presents three friends in processes of overcoming sexual, identity-based and technological trauma, delicately intertwining the public and the private, and opening itself to an intergenerational audience — here challenged in its beliefs rather than its modesty.
