ALL DAY I DREAMT ABOUT SOCCER (ADIDAS) - Ahilan Ratnamohan

Ahilan Ratnamohan is touched as a child by football, not because of the sport, but because of the outfits ... His first memory of a World Cup does not revolve around a legendary goal or an iconic victory, but around the braided ponytail of Roberto Baggio and the shiny goalkeeper jersey of Jorge Campo. He takes his fascination for football outfits a step further. Old curtains of his mother become suspenders to tie his shin guards. The cut-off sleeve of an old Nike sweater serves as a bracelet. Ahilan's obsession decreases as he tries to become a professional football player himself. But the impact of football fashion on movement, identity, and culture continues to intrigue him immensely. In ‘All Day I Dream About Soccer (ADIDAS)’ Ahilan Ratnamohan takes his separate relationship to football and fashion under the magnifying glass. By means of personal memories and stories, he traces the rise of fashion trends in modern football and their consequences for society, culture, and identity. While he focuses on fabric, cut, and styles, he reflects at the same time on the contradiction between queerness and homophobia. ‘All Day I Dream About Soccer (ADIDAS)’ is a performance for football lovers, theater lovers, and football haters on the border between a dance performance, football match, lecture performance, and catwalk.
