Vibing is a structural matter, and repetition can be brutal. It is the feeling of a teenager posing in front of a mirror with a blush of shame on their pretty face. Not yet in full capacity to grasp their creation’s social implications, but eager to learn. ‘It is easy to be with me, just for a moment’, the image says. Can you stretch my ankle while I try to be myself? Yes, I know what to do. The work refers to the feeling of a teenager who poses in front of a mirror and tries to learn gestures of music videos, experimenting to find a solid material extension of themselves. Further, the performance explores gestures of contemporary Schlager music. Through repetition and appropriation, the performers find their own scattered versions of these gestures. Music by Marshall Vincent

Sunny Pfalzer is a performance artist, a surfer boy, a go-go-girl, and a slug. They love to cuddle on the street. Whether they perform on stage, sew textile sculptures, hold a camera, or choreograph for public spaces, their approach is always bodily and felt. Through protest methodologies, poetry and pop culture, Sunny depicts how body language can construct statements. Facilitating workshops and collaborating is an integral part of Sunny’s practice, as these formats provide time and space to share knowledge, lived experience, time to reflect, and unlearn together. Flávia Mudesto Mangez de la viande politiquement (Eat Meat Politically) Performance Traditional food is characterised by its content. It is no longer enough to make political food: one must eat politically. Today, the formal problem is solved not by coming up with new, eye-popping stunts but by constructing the flavour in a principally different way. What does it mean to eat politically today? It doesn’t mean pretending everything is simple and you have an answer to every question: we’ll leave this stance to the parties and trade unions. Instead, each time we strive to include collective, participatory practices in food making and thus seek new ways to exit the dead ends of political life. ‘Eating meat politically’ does not mean to make simply learning recipes. It means to show us the learning process itself. Dornika Kazerani is a Tehran-born and Berlin-based artist, singer/songwriter, rapper, and music producer. In the vibrant Berlin queer underground she is also known by her drag persona, Many Faced Godx. She is as versatile with her sound as she is with her looks, defying genre as well as gender expectations. Her activism heavily influences Dornika’s work. As a pop act, she uses music as her platform to speak about more extensive topics, confronting subjects of body autonomy, fatphobia, and racism and bringing awareness to the female-led revolution in Iran.

Slim Soledad, born in Brazil, is a multi-artist currently living in Berlin. Her body moves through the different sounds, inter-passing rhythms like Baile Funk, Vogue, and contemporary dances. These connections develop nuances in her body’s creative process as a performer and in her musical production. She co-founded the queer collective Chernobyl, which caters to a BPOC and LGBTQIA+ audience in Brazil
