Opening: FRI 15.8, 18H
Opening hours:
Thursday - Sunday
15H-19H

Others have always been there. They've followed us throughout our human histories as expressions and projections of our collective fears, desires and obsessions. Monsters, strange creatures and hybrids refuse to fit our human-made systems and norms, attracting and terrifying in their unfamiliar complexity. We ask ourselves: Who are the real monsters — those violently excluded, or those who uphold the system that excludes them? In monstrous times, we choose transformation over obedience. We don’t run, we gather. We face and befriend each other. Join us on a journey where the freaks are celebrated, not erased.

As a group of queer artists coming together under the name of Creature Kin, we invite you into a space of more-than-human embodiment and reflection on monstrosity from the margins.

The show’s opening night will feature a club night co-hosted with Berlin-based collective HONKY DONK, bringing together a packed line-up of monstrous performers, untamed live sets and multi-genre DJs. More info here.
