THE AGENCY: Medusa Bionic Rise. 10.08.2018. Tanz im August, Haus der Berliner Festspiele, Berlin.

So when I like finally got in – I mean I don’t know why it took so long, I had a wristband – he was like „nice software“, but yeah the space was cool, a little dingier than I expected, but honestly it had everything you needed and when I got there there was like this super funny skinny guy dancing with his knees who came up to me and gave me a tiny drink in a tube, and my friends, who were standing in line for their drinks, were like oh my god, you’re the chosen one. We laughed but then this super cute girl approached me, Spike, and she was like, follow me, so we went to the back, she said I looked fit and asked me to box with her, and I mean, yeah, I was wearing velvet, so it was all a little impractical but we talked a lot about normative body images, like trying to get in shape, but for what, right!? Like do we only reinforce the trace of the patriachal past by creating its opposite, so like how not to do that, you know? They had these MBR TV reels playing, my favourite which was the makeup tutorial, good stuff there for a new future, totally, and then this concert started happening which was okay at first, they were like throwing themselves against the walls and banging metal around singing something like „fat calls for sweat“, but it really picked up and all came together somehow, so impressive, and this one girl was like such a good skipper! I don’t know maybe I can get you in next time since now I am totally –––
