No Lights No Lycra

The lights will be turned off for exactly 60 minutes and Berliner Festspiele’s Kassenhalle is opened for a dance event where everyone can dance freely in the rapture of the festival without being watched. No dress code, no show dancing and no alcohol – instead, an impelling hour of fun techno, bitchy sounds and hard beats. Come dance while no one is watching!

The sounds come from no_drama@hotmail, a collaboration of Leipzig-based artists Cora Czarnecki and Jasmina Rezig. As a DJ-team, they focus on various genres like New Jersey, techhouse, pop, vogue and techno. They focus on queer* and feminist* lyrics around the topic of sexuality and body that use a variety of strategies to try to provoke, empower and generate sexy lust. Sweat hard!

* queer: no_drama@hotmail see this as a positive self-description for people who are not heterosexual and/or cisgender, who are not sure (yet) or who reject categorization of gender and orientation for various reasons.

* feminist: no_drama@hotmail see this as a political position that demands equal rights for women in society, politics and law. This also and above all concerns women who are marginalized for multiple reasons, such as dis_abled women, trans women, women of color, women who have had to leave their homes as refugees and many others.
