An Oratory on Defeat (at least we tried; but we will dance anyways)

Sometimes you must create the spaces you are looking for but can’t find. That’s especially true at times when things are going to the dogs. Or when it’s raining cats and dogs. Whatever. But its true for our favorite pastime spots as well. One more reason to have a productive and critical (at least we’ll try) look at the clubs of the Frankfurt techno scene and their history, using our tool: theatre. Thus, you will get the best of two worlds, which couldn’t be more similar and more different from each other: performance and rave. Together we will visit long forgotten clubs in Frankfurt, amazing oral history will take us back to the wildest parties, before everything went down the drain. And maybe we’ll be able to create a new space together, which gives us some hope for tomorrow. Turn night into day with us and the sound of Frankfurt into your body’s heartbeat. United we stand.
