INFO
 
LUC LE TRUC
With his Hamburg based francophil “Je Danse Donc Je Suis”-parties, Luc Le Truc made a 13 years long warm-up for giving you some ARROGANCE. Meanwhile he made stopovers i.a. at the Plötzlich or Fusion Festival and Clubs like Golden Pudel. The frenchymusicmadness started back in the 90s with the synthpopboygroup Les Frères Checkolade and the still existing radioshow “multiplication de l’amusement” on FSK 93,0. Trippy, hypnotic, hot like you and cold as ice, but most important: with attitude – this is how Luc Le Truc likes it and this is how his track selection will be for ARROGANCE.
 
//
 
M.A.R.E.C
Some say, French hip-hop is the second best in the world, French people say its the N°1… You’ve heard of the classic ones, he’s been around the block digging the old and new ones you haven’t heard. From sampling-wave-instrumental beats to electro-rap-beats he’s putting together a playlist that will make you ask yourself if you wouldn’t be secretly understanding what french people say in your dreams.
 
//
 
JOE NIGHT
A guy named Johnny claims to light the fire… Joe Night will extinguish it with a good cold French wave from “Demain Berlin” (Guerre Froide) and “Cherchez le Garçon” (Taxi Girl) to “Bosphore” (Grand Blanc) and “Si un jour” (La Femme)… Joe Night will serve you some dark, romantic and melancolic new/synth wave with a pinch of French electronic music. FFO: Jacno, Position Parallèle, Guerre Froide, Trisomie21, Grand Blanc…

The DEAD LADIES SHOW is a series of entertaining and inspiring presentations on women who achieved amazing things against all odds. Every two months, the show hosts three passionate cheerleaders of too-oft forgotten women, inviting its loyal audience into a sexy séance (of sorts) celebrating these impressive icons, their turbulent lives, and deathless legacies.
 
Our 13th event showcases three such extraordinary ladies who pushed the boundaries of their times: a poet and Afro-German activist, a pioneering doctor who took a liberal view of female sexuality, and a silent movie star who wowed crowds in a lavish 1917 version of Cleopatra, now lost for all eternity. Our presenters are the award-winning German writer DAVID WAGNER, Dublin/Berlin-based columnist ALIX BERBER, and your beloved co-host KATY DERBYSHIRE. And of course our master of ceremonies, FLORIAN DUIJSENS, will ensure the evenings entertainment runs smoothly. So put on your glad rags and raise a glass with us in the ACUD STUDIO on 26 September, 8pm.
 
Presented in a messy mixture of English and German. €5 or €3 reduced entry. Now generously supported by the Berliner Senat. Doors open 7:30 come on time to get a good seat!

ABOUT
 
Launching our year of dead Berliners is MAY AYIM, who made our fine city her home in 1984. She was a founding member of the Initiative of Black People in Germany a year later, and published the groundbreaking book Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out soon afterwards. Ayim trained as a speech therapist and taught at university level, but shes remembered for her work on Afro-German history and her unmasking of racism and for her moving poetry which explores her own memory and identity and those of others.

ANNA FISCHER-DÜCKELMANN was one of the first women to study medicine, running a clinic for women and children in Dresden for many years. She wrote books on reforming womens clothing, womens sexuality, and gynecology, plus a popular illustrated guide to medicine for women. Keeping her maiden name after marriage, Fischer-Dückelmann championed both natural remedies and womens rights. Womens equality, she wrote, is the key to a new heavenly realm of love.
 
//
 
The silent movie actress THEDA BARA rose to become Fox Studios biggest star prior to the 1920s, often cast as a vamp. Yet she also played Shakespearean roles like Juliet and Cleopatra. In pre-code Hollywood, she was known for her skimpy costumes and early sex-symbol status. Criticized for her dark roles from gang moll to Princess Zara of the South Seas she responded: “I will continue doing vampires as long as people sin.” Although she made more than 40 silent films, very few of them have survived.

Synergy is an interaction of different elements, that with combined forces can create something greater than on their own. In this context it is a beautiful union of music and​ ​freedom,​ ​that​ ​bring​ ​people​ ​together,​ ​ignoring​ ​boundaries,​ ​stamps​ ​and​ ​nations.
 
Whether or not music is a “universal language” is a question that has been debated throughout history. One might say this phrase has been touted so often, it has become a cliché. However, one can not deny the fact that music communicates on levels, of which semantic language can not. It is an essential part of what all people share.​ ​We​ ​all​ ​belong​ ​to​ ​music.
 
In​ ​music, ​there​ ​are​ ​no​ ​borders,​ ​apart​ ​from​ ​the​ ​pause​ ​and​ ​space​ ​for​ ​applause.
 
Let us take you on a journey through different rhythms and cosmic melodies that will make​ ​your​ ​heart​ ​feel​ ​at​ ​home​ ​wherever​ ​you’re​ ​from​ ​and​ ​where​ ​you’re​ ​going​ ​to.
 
The night will consist of a concert, curated jam session, and a party with DJs ​that through their selection and state of mind reflect the ideals that we collectively cherish. ​We’re inviting all of you to collectively sing, dance and to listen to the sounds​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​diversity.

NAWA BAND
Founded in 2014, Nawa is a cooperation of Berlin-based musicians from Palestine, Syria, Italy, Greece, Poland, US. The instrumental line-up consists of: the Arabic lute/oud, the violin, the oriental flute/nay, the contrabass and various forms of percussion. Nawa aims at contributing to the popularity of classical ​Arabic and Turkish chamber music, a genre very little known in the West. Central to all kind of oriental musical forms is the Taqsim: a structured, mode-based instrumental improvisation which focuses on rhythmic and melodic patterns in order to explore modes and modulations. Together with the structured musical forms, it creates a highly dynamic and lively listening experience, very much alike to western improvisation​ ​genres.

In 2017 he started his new solo project, Nar. “Through music, I can convey my message to people..I’m not speaking in the name of anyone. I am Ali and Syrian. Whether refugee or migrant: I do not care about these terms. We are citizens like everyone else. Music is the sphere in which I defend my self and my truth. This is my message … a love message. ” – Ali Hasan

Synergie ist eine Wechselwirkung verschiedener Elemente, die mit kombinierten Kräften etwas Großes schaffen. Die Einheit aus Musik und Freiheit ist es, die Menschen zusammenbringt und den Gedanken von Grenzen und Nationen außer Kraft​ ​setz.
 
Ob Musik eine “universelle Sprache” ist, ist eine Frage, die im Laufe der Geschichte vielfach diskutiert wurde. Klar ist dennoch, sie kommuniziert dort, wo die semantische​ ​Sprache​ ​es​ ​nicht​ ​kann.​ ​Musik​ ​ist​ ​ein​ ​wesentlicher​ ​Teil​ ​aller​ ​Menschen.
 
In der Musik gibt es keine Grenzen. Lass uns zusammen durch verschiedene Rhythmen und Melodien reisen, die uns zu Hause fühlen lassen wo immer wir sind und​ ​egal​ ​wo​ ​wir​ ​herkommen.
Das Abendprogramm besteht aus einem Konzert, einer Jam-Session und einer Party mit DJs, die Musik als mittel ihrer Kreativität nutzen und zum Ausdruck bringen. Wir laden euch ein, gemeinsam zu singen, zu tanzen und die mit Vielfalt gefüllte Musik mit​ ​uns​ ​zu​ ​genießen.
 
Diese Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperationsveranstaltung von Synergy Collective und Baynetna.​ بیناتنا​,​ ​unterstützt​ ​von​ ​ACUD​ ​Macht​ ​Neu​ ​und​ ​Common​ ​Ground​ ​UdK.
 
Die Bayntena بیناتنا (“Between Us”) Projekt, ist eine gemeinnützige unabhängige Organisation mit dem Ziel, eine Brücke zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen anhand von Kunst zu schlagen. Das Baynetna-Projekt begann mit dem Ziel als Bibliothek die Einführung der arabischen Literatur und Kulture eine Brücke zwischen der arabischen und anderen Kulturen der Welt zu schaffen. Sie hat sich zu einem Kultureltreffpunkt weiterentwickelt, um auch diverse kulturelle und künstlerische Veranstaltungen und Aktivitäten anbieten zu können, wie feministische Selbst- Verteidigung Workshops, Theaterworkshops, Musikveranstaltungen und die arabische​ ​und​ ​die​ ​europäischen​ ​Kulturen​ ​mehr​ ​für​ ​einander​ ​zu​ ​öffnen.
