Passe-partout ticket = €10,-

boy of glass is an audiovisual performance that touches on how to navigate intimacy, hardship and grief in a relationship that almost exclusively takes place online. Through poems and vocal loops, Jillis questions how romantic gestures are performed through digital channels and what it means for a screen to become the embodiment of someone you love. As the vocal loops fill the room, Jillis desperately attempts to return to his body and move away from the screen. But how do you detach from a world that is always at your fingertips? An object that holds the person closest to you? And what happens to the boy inside the glass when the screen is turned off?
