Criptonite:
Be Inspired!!!

Premiere: June 2021, Gessnerallee Zurich

What inspires you? What makes you feel empowered? What gives you hope? Learn from your favourite everyday heroes how to overcome all of your issues, because we believe the only disability in life is a bad attitude! Haha, just kidding! Nina Mühlemann and Edwin Ramirez present the third episode of Criptonite, a crip-queer series of events that centres disabled artists and creates an accessible, relaxed, and fantastic utopia.

Their third edition is looking at the connections between disability, inspiration, superpowers and heroism. Using their superpowers of lipsyncing, telekinesis and reading your minds, they punch inspiration porn in the face. Boom! Zap! Pow! For their final show at Gessnerallee in the near future, Criptonite is going all out with a trashy, camp extravaganza inspired their favourite comic books and superhero looks. Are you inspired yet? We will take your breath away!
