A GENDERFUCKING RAVE RITUAL

A happening where performers use their bodies as acts of resistance against fixed identities and the binary view of humanity. HOLOBIONT opens a temporary space where you are free to move, and where bodies exist in constant transformation.

An underground playground (300 min) where raw performances, ridiculous costumes, and radical gender euphoria spill into one another. From the moment you step inside, you become part of HOLOBIONT: moving, lingering, vanishing, and reappearing. There will be no chairs, dance if you wish or collapse in a corner with a drink. You choose how deep, how long, and how far you go.

HOLOBIONT is a queerrave: part gathering space, part anarchic dancefloor, part collective ritual. Unruly wigs, shadowed corners, and glitter scattered in unexpected places as the night goes on.

Here the binary collapses, and from the chaos something new is born: a community where bodies, genders, and selves are free. An invitation to meet the unknown in yourself and others. And dance together.
