»JTDQNHD« (Jugamos tan duro que nos hacemos daño), translated as »We play so hard it hurts«, is a solo directed and performed by Fernando Troya, a Spanish artist residing in the Netherlands. Delving into the subterranean realms of cruising culture and the pursuit of intimacy amidst darkness, it synthesizes autobiographical traces with the timeless allegory of Peter Pan to excavate and celebrate the complexities of queer identity. Through a relentless commitment to authenticity, Troya playfully exhibits his adventure and navigates between performance, dance, and theater using 10 mattresses as a living stage design.
