Join our Monsters Circle in Berlin, at Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg, on Wedneday 30 October from 7 to 9pm CET, as part of the Becoming Monster global festival organised by the emergence network.
The Becoming Monster festival, organized by the emergence network is an ecology of spaces to feel, share, experiment and practice opening ourselves to the unknown, the unthinkable and unsayable. The aim of the festival is not to identify or name monsters, nor to redraw hard lines around the right and the good. It is an exploration into a different materiality of grief and care in a time of loss, a celebration of our failures to become, an invitation to reimagine, re-feel and re-intuit what else it might mean to be human beyond the carceral narratives of white modernity.
The Monsters Circle is a courageous, vulnerable and warm space to share all the emotions that we feel as we see ourselves transforming and shape-shifting, either voluntarily or unvoluntarily, to live in a world of climate instability. We will explore the emotions of becoming monsters, or feeling monstruous, in the sense that we cannot quite grasp who and what we are becoming in real time. We will welcome all emotions, and will encourage participating monsters or monsters-in-the-making to share their emotions through any media: spoken word, performance, visual or multimedia arts…
In case you cannot join in-person in Berlin, you are welcome to join us for a Monsters Circle online on November 1st, 2024 at 5.30 pm CET. This session is part of the Becoming Monster festival, to which you can register here.
