Welcome to Kivotos Channel. A safe space for vulnerable bodies, femininities, relational politics and radical imagination for the day after. How can we possibly retrieve social inclusion adopting funny and unexpected survival strategies in a new unimaginable world?
Wild female wrestlers, “hot” personalities, queer creatures, cyborgs, panelists and non-binary subjectivities enact their hybrid identities creating an unexpected life on-air. Kivotos Channel—composed of self-contained episodes of daily absurdity—presents: the intimate Sauna Confessions; the extravagant female wrestling camp advert; a TV quiz show called Tilekivotos; a show for alternative parenting; Breaking News of the new world; and further extravagant episodes of love and fame. Affection and hate, daddy issues and revenge, and mystery and hotness are the raw materials of the bittersweet, endless and healingly confessional mood of the Kivotos Channel shows.
