Come a little closer. Even closer. Super close. Can you feel our age? Can you taste our experiences? Do you desire our knowledge? Which body will you reveal to me?

In TEMPTATION, 9 performers over the age of 60 move between lust and loss, flirtation and shame, pleasure and pain and create a statement on sexuality in old age(s) in biographical excerpts and physical snapshots. TEMPTATION embarks on a lustful journey to stimulating, lost and obscure places and is dedicated to the visibility of individual lust in old age(s).

The ensemble was created in 2024 as a production of the company Silke Z. in cooperation with the theater ensemble OLDSCHOOL (Schauspiel Köln) under the artistic direction of David Vogel.
