Live an apocalyptic dream™. A wondrous imaginary tour through the mythical ruins of club culture in the defamed techno crawl capital. Part essay, part aural-performance, part séance, Berlin based artists and DJs – Hassandra and marum – wander through the fading sites of excess, unearth the screeches and echoes of the past, inviting the participants to revel amongst the ghosts of Berlin’s nightlife residue.
In this performance-tour through the histories of Berlin’s queer nightlife, marum and Hassandra host a tableau vivant to lounge in conviviality and despair after a night out in the city. Exhausted, tired, and poly-intoxicated crowds share tales of lost times. A DJ plays music at a distance—protests and personal confessions unfold—all together in a quest to make sense of current events in the Berlin-industrial-club-complex.
The performance addresses alcohol and drug consumption as well as war, police violence, murder, and racism.
