FANTASY WORLD invites you to explore fantasy not as an escape from reality, but as a space where new ways of relating, imagining, and being can be embodied. Enter a world where fantasy takes shape through bodies, imagination, and play.

Through immersive roleplay, participatory installations, one-to-one encounters, playful scores, and ritual practices, FANTASY WORLD invites you to explore fantasy not only as something you imagine, but as something you can inhabit.

Wander between transformation and stillness, devotion and desire, tenderness and intensity. Meet archetypal figures, step into unfamiliar roles, follow unexpected invitations, and discover experiences that blur the boundaries between ritual, performance, and play.

Bring your high heels, platforms, ballet costume, and your favorite fantasy or role-play outfit.

TI (aka. Senior-Secretary-General B.Amter)

Last year, he kept you all on your toes and demanded nothing less than perfection as the rigorous headmaster, P.Rick.

But you’ve actually met him even before, as the unyielding Coach DicXipline. as the visionary Steve Blowjobs in Guru Supermarket, as the enigmatic Dr. Freude at the wonderful Who-Who Clinic, or maybe as the unruly Captain Jack-Ass at the infamous School of Love.

Since 2016, Ti has been a relentless force in our roleplay and fantasy spaces — a master of transformation, a chameleon of characters.
