The Rat Raise

View of point is a seasonal project devoted to the permanent decolonization of thought, with a network of artists they creat e dancefloors that are absurdist, idealist conceptions of the future. They believe that by countering commodified nightlife, partying comes back out in its ritualistic colours.

For their spring gathering they will co me to Het Groene Veld for a full day of music, installations and workshops . The spring theme is named “ The Rat Raise”, here is a brief explanation of the theme. 

In this age of acceleration, growth is caught in its own paradox.Every action becomes a transaction as we inc reasingly lionize individualism, competition, and greed.In the confusion of time, the cult of consumpt ion undermines the space for genuine felt connections

Whilst the ris ing disillusionment with corporate life drives us to step out of the wheel of perpetual tail chasing, the racing has infected the energy of nightlif e’s undercurrent.Strengthened by social media, the backstage underground c ontradicts its own ideals. Surging identity elitism reinforces hierarchy, shaping a new generation of dancers and artists blinded by narcissistic sa tisfaction.When partying becomes a continuation of the office, the gatheri ng loses its ritual colours and drifts into a breeding ground for passivit y.

Coming together allows us to reorganize beyond the paradigms that facilitate our doom.As we ra ise the rats, we shatter the illusion of paradoxical power and come to see that we are all, in essence, imaginative beings capable of positive frami ng.

For buying tickets, sign-up via https://www.vie wofpoint.world/ and use info@hetgroeneveld.amsterdam as the referral email. After this you’ll receive the newsletter from where you can buy tickets. Also there will be tickets at the door.
