January 2015-2020: Coaching of the Graphic-Novel "Küsse für Jet"
The graphic novel 'Küsse für Jet' is a tragi-comic coming-of-gender story about friendship, identity and body dysphoria, set in the later years of the 1990s in the boarding house where teenager 'Jet' has just moved in. In between Kurt Cobain's death and the millenium-bug scare, these were the last years that TV could trump internet as a means to figure out the world.
In her coming of age comedy-drama, Joris Bas Backer takes us back to the nineties to the boarding house where 'Merle' has just moved in. In this we follow Jetes struggle with gender-dysphoria.
