COKO Happening: Trashed My Title by Avantika Tibrewal

You are warmly invited to join us at the official opening of COKO Space featuring the very first COKO Happening:

Trashed My Title by Avantika Tibrewal

A world that you love to hate and hate to love

Trashed My Title invites you an experience that both dazzles and disturbs in equal measure. Often dismissed as low culture, vulgar, or kitsch, the performance embraces the consumption of popular culture and the subconscious value beneath its glossy surface.Far from a guilty pleasure, Trashed My Title grants a rarer gift: Permission. Permission to find joy in internal desire beyond rigid notions of “good” taste. Here, shame transforms into celebration as bodies move unapologetically in defiance of judgment. Amidst the communal glow of sequins and shine lies a soft yet subversive revolt—a glamorous reclaiming of pleasure.

Performers

Avantika Tibrewal and Zebulan Marvin

In 2024, Trashed My Title was officially added to the library archives of the University of Vienna’s Theatre Department, making Tibrewal the first Indian artist to have her work preserved alongside pioneers like Doris Uhlich, Julian Hetzel, Jerome Bel, and Judith Sanchez Ruí. This inclusion ensures broader accessibility for both academic and public engagement. Tibrewal continues to shape diasporic and decolonial discourse within a predominantly Eurocentric art world, establishing herself as an emerging voice on the international performance landscape.

About the Artist

Intimate, provocative, and thought-provoking, Tibrewal’s work explores human behavior and the politics of the unspoken within social norms. By positioning the body as a vessel of meaning-making, she fluidly moves between live performance and documentary interview, providing audiences with a dynamic experience that critically responds to the fast-paced attention economy of modern spectatorship. Uninterested in fixed narratives, Tibrewal allows the performer-audience relationship to organically reveal the deeper messages embedded in her work.
