Debate for Puppets: Polyamory?
Shhhh! Why are we so tolerant?
Sometimes the emotional attachment is more hurtful than the sex itself. A man with five “wives” seeks a sixth: I'm not doing it for sex, but for the welfare of the family, he claims. How to conduct a theater in a threesome? Is it an exciting idea to bring another (him) into the party? We want to alternate positions on a regular basis. (he+me+another miss) Testosterone is responsible for this!
In one bed in a threesome? He was the third one at the time. Working in a non-hierarchical team based on equivalent positions has proved to be functional for us.
Infidelity as a national sport? Up to a third of Czechs have a parallel relationship, a couples therapist claims.
How to bring fresh impetus into a relationship? People used to not live as long as they do today. How has the role of monogamy changed and when does it make sense to keep quiet about the affair? Relationships used to last for ten years and then someone died. Can we also understand infidelity as emancipation or an act of defiance?
Third of all good. Polyamory or infidelity?
Puppet Debates is a project in which the debaters do not know each other's identity, just as the audience does not know the identity of the debaters. For the first time in HaDivadle!
