Shibari Theater

Shibari Theater is a unique performance that immerses the audience in a profound world of emotions, feelings, and personal stories. It raises important questions, touching on triggers and details that awaken long-forgotten experiences and reveal new dimensions of sensation. This is an art form where the rope becomes not just a tool, but a means of genuine communication between the performers and the audience.

At the core of the theatre lies a synthesis of various art forms: dance, Aikido, contact improvisation, and live music. These elements intertwine during a 40-minute journey of transformation, culminating in a refined and elegant tea ceremony, creating an atmosphere of calm and completeness.

Each viewer leaves with not only lasting impressions but also food for reflection, having connected with something deep and sincere.

Over the course of 12 years, Tati Limati has not just been training her rope skills, but researched many techniques and practices to integrate in her shibari practice. She combines elements of martial arts, contact improvisation, tantra, qi gong and Thai massage with the purpose of adding depth and sincerity to her own shibari work.

 In her teachings, she intends to help participants explore their underlying motivations and add deeper layers to their shibari play. With her techniques she aims to develop an understanding and the use of improvisation, making her students actively establish their own identities in rope play, instead of copying others without questioning.
