The Kinky Playback ensemble was a sex-positive and inclusive Playback Theatre ensemble based in Berlin.
Through audience stories, movement, music, and improvisation, the ensemble created performances that explored intimacy, vulnerability, identity, desire, community, and the many strange, funny, tender, and transformative parts of being human.
During its time together, the ensemble created three shows: First Times, Stories from the sauna, If This Space Could Talk, and Exploration.
The project came to a close in March 2026, but remains part of the wider story of Kinky Soul.
Kinky Playback Theatre was open to stories that were intimate, vulnerable, erotic, taboo, playful, painful, joyful, and yes — sometimes kinky.
At the same time, the ensemble welcomed all kinds of stories: kinky or vanilla, light or heavy, ordinary or extraordinary.
At its heart, Kinky Playback Theatre was not about performing kink. It was about creating a space where the full richness of human experience could be witnessed and brought to life on stage.
Q: Do I need to share a story to attend a performance?
A: Not at all! Sharing a story is completely optional. You’re welcome to simply watch and enjoy the magic as the stories unfold on stage.
Q: Does my story have to be kinky?
A: Nope! While we are a sex-positive group that embraces intimacy and vulnerability, we welcome all types of stories—kinky, vanilla, joyful, or transformative. Every narrative is a valuable part of our shared human experience.
Q: What’s the difference between Playback Theater and comedy improv?
A: Playback Theater focuses on bringing real-life stories to life, often emphasizing connection, reflection, and emotional depth. While it can be humorous, its primary goal is not comedy—it’s about storytelling and shared human experiences.
Q: When are your shows?
A: We are not officially performing yet, but when we do, all show announcements will be shared on our Telegram channel and Kinky Soul’s platforms. Stay tuned for updates!
Q: Can beginners join the ensemble?
A: Yes! Most of us don’t have any acting background—we’re doing this for fun. While we’re not officially looking for new members, we’re open to welcoming new participants based on availability and commitment. If you’re a musician, we’re definitely interested!
