Das Sofortvergnügen (THE INSTANT PLEASURE) is a dance-theatre-spectacle about insatiable desires, [in]convenience, and patience created and performed by me and Cosimo Pori.

The script is a collage of personal anecdotes, contradictory ideas, memes, audio sourced from silly TikTok & YouTube videos, TV/film, contemporary dance, and more, created using HOTGLUE—an open source website publishing tool.
