Workshop Suspension moments
Friday September 19 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
By: > TogetherTogether Collective
Language: English
Each gathering consists of movement practice, collective storytelling, experience-based conversations and collective embodiment.
"Practical proposals of what-might-be" responds to a society shaped by modernity and coloniality, where individualism is prioritized. In this context, coming together is a politicized experience for which we propose a language that suspends our belief and involvement in exploitative structures.
The project exhibits an ongoing research into collective care through public gatherings and interventions, and unfolds in different interconnected pieces. "Suspension Moments" seek to create spaces that expand capitalist, linear time to reclaim agency and prefigure alternative futures.
It is about finding ways of coming together and recognizing the interdependence already present between humans and their surroundings, to resist and disrupt individualism.

One and Doners

By: Trash Skeleton
Language: English
Each play has been written with the same twist in mind! The actors cannot and will not know what they’re about to read on stage! So Trash Skeleton (she/her) will be asking for volunteers each time as the three plays are performed by complete strangers completely unaware of all the wild works they’re about to be a part of!
The plays will be about solidarity with sex workers, queer reclaiming of westerns and a secret new play written especially for BANGS!
