ABOUT TIME TO SHINE

Time to Shine is a theatrical event that emerged onto the cultural landscape of Berlin in 2023, after co-founders Terry and L’aDios realised there was nothing that represented their kink journeys.

At its heart lies an exploration of the intricate world of fetish and kink, delving into realms often deemed taboo or misunderstood by mainstream society. The tapestry of artistic mediums including monologue, dance, animation, and stand-up comedy creates a production that fearlessly confronts the sensitive subjects of consensual adult play.

The defining mantra of Time to Shine is that kink shouldn’t be the punchline, but that doesn’t mean it’s not funny.
