20:00 TRAUMA PARTY

Underdog children of the digital era, but struggling to cope with what's required to live in it: superficiality and lack of humanity and empathy, downgrading of human emotions, feelings, creativeness, individuality and real connections. This struggle is downright traumatizing. Hence we came up with our own concept called the TRAUMA PARTY: it's not only music, it's words, language, images, vibes, feeling, movement. It's a ritual that allows yourself to FEEL and BEING HUMAN again despite the system being built to make it harder and harder for you: it's catharsis and therapy through dance and music, facing your traumas and the hurt that living like this gave you and SWEATING IT OUT OF YOUR BODY. Thriving in the contradiction and imperfection of being human through creating art that faces the contradiction of the system and self-destroying mechanisms and dynamics we jailed ourselves in.

WELCOME TO THE TRAUMA PARTY.
