GEGEN Ritual

A ritual is a collective performance that can produce altered states of consciousness and suggestive healing power.

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES

Enter GEGEN RITUAL, where each dance temple is designed for enhancing transcendent states of (dis)possession and each encounter is a magic revolution.

FORGET YOUR NAME

Dive into a dramaturgy of sonic edge play where fog, water, shadows, lights, impressions, glimpses, dark rooms and secret dungeons expand, limitless, in celebration of not knowing what’s going to happen next.

FORGET THE WORLD

Shed your clothes at the door and step beyond the threshold in this nocturnal celebration. Surrender your static identity at the door. Conjure spirits of ecstatic dance with beat-driven endurance on an orgy of wavelengths. Honor the shared intentions that bring us all together.

FORGET YOUR SELF

Let the repetition of lights, sounds and vibrations elevate your neurotransmitters and enhance your telepathic sensitivities. Get situated right here, in the present, on harmonized frequencies. Descend into a trance matrix where all is one, one is none, and none is all.

GEGEN SOCIAL

Have you heard the latest?? Check! It!! Out!!!

Here's some fleeting entertainment for your bored brain! NEW!! user-generated content scrolling past your screen on some corporate social media platform for promoting disembodied personas online. YOU: one big surfing eye, unable to dive...

Somewhere between social media and social distancing we have started to lose track of what it means to be social. Socializing in the physical world has become more rarefied but also (seemingly) more tedious, repetitive even, compared to the diffused celebrity show ceaselessly broadcast by individual identity bubbles online. Here the automatic satisfaction of desires means outsourcing everything to algorithms where nothing is left to imagine.

Welcome to the performance society! a reality show of participatory surveillance!! In this comfortably numb state of constant distraction and self-control we look at our own image and lament we can’t be more in love with ourselves...

👾😇🕳🍆😈🦄😎🥳😍🤌✊🦾🦶🏼🫀🗣👅🧑‍🎤🧜🏼‍♀️💅🧚🧜🤳🏿👠🦩🍼🍑🤸‍♀️🧸🔈🌈🚀🌶🍌🐽🧞‍♀️🧦🥰🍄🏳️‍🌈🌽🦪📱❤️‍🩹🪱🤦🏽‍♀️🙍🏿‍♂️👯‍♀️🦄🦚👨‍❤️‍👨🤏🏿🧢👋💃👗👈🏾🥵👙👀😋

DO YOU WANT MORE than a flat reflection of your #fears #whims and #ambitions ?? Then keep following and liking. We’re almost there...

In the cracks of hegemony people are in fact finding each other; recovering subjugated knowledge, rethinking time, reappropriating space, hacking technologies, pushing back against discipline and control. Our identities are complex bundles of characteristics that undergo continuous mutations. The memory of who we are is built upon a process of forgetting, selection, and narrative – not on the total recall of a fixed profile. Identities can be managed, multiplied, altered, re-created, upgraded and trance-formed. What makes the difference is what is actually commonly shared by exploring the unknown together and expecting the unexpected, in yourself and others.

Experiment. Make mistakes. Learn without instruction or coercion. Practice silence, nuance, listening, exploration, and the subtleties of tone and body language...

Dance beyond dawn and dusk, beyond night and day... Beyond identity and social norms and all binaries...

The party is out there, out there!

EPIC GAMES

As the spring equinox approaches, the Olympians call forth to all mortals to gather at the sacred halls of the Transbordeur in Lyon. This hallowed ground, once a temple to the water nymphs, has been reborn as a haven for the deities of gender, pleasure, and techno.

The [NO GENDER] X GEGEN BERLIN: EPIC GAMES, a grandiose festival of revelry and athleticism, shall be the centerpiece of this divine gathering. As in ancient times, the Games will be a time for laying down arms and competing in a spirit of togetherness and honor. The beat of the drums and the pulse of the crowd will be the heartbeat of this epic spectacle, a marathon of rave, bodies, and games of desire that shall rival the grandeur of Mount Olympus itself.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, shall be your guide and protector as you indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. Zeus, king of the gods, shall oversee the competition and provide the thunderous soundtrack that shall shake the halls to their foundations. But be warned, the gates to Olympus are guarded by fierce creatures, and only those who abide by the principles of benevolence, consent, listening, and respect shall be granted entry. The enemies of the gods shall be denied passage, their fate sealed to eternal damnation.

All who possess a heroic spirit and a heart for adventure, come and join us in this grand celebration of life, where immersing in massive sound that as mountainous as Olympus and reveling in the company of fellow gods and goddesses is closer to the heavens than the depths of the earth.

AN-N-UL-US

The two main motions of the Earth are rotation and revolution – reciprocally transforming one into the other in coital rhythm with the Sun and the Moon. Consider the Moon and the tide; life comes from the sea and the sea continuously beats off. Plants rise in the direction of the Sun and then collapse in the direction of the Earth. Time is spatialized by this discoidal form – the ring, the ANNULUS – and each cycle is a new cosmopoietic act.

AN-NU-AL

The foremost symbolic space of temporal repetition is the Earth's revolution around the Sun. Each ANNUAL "new year" marks the point when days becomes longer and time begins again. The wish for a new start can be found in orgiastic ceremonies symbolizing chaos; the primordial moment before creation when all values and rules are abolished and contradictions are integrated into a dramatic harmony of the (w)hole.

AN-NIHILATION

Connected to the nocturnal order of the Moon cycle, the number 12 carries mythological and magical symbolism representing cosmic order; a (w)hole where everything coexists with its opposite, opening up the potential for new forms of pleasure and the ANNIHILATION of fixed identities.

AN-US

The ANUS is not only a ring; it is a bioport through which a body stays open and exposed. (The ANUS, having neither sex nor gender, escapes erotic difference like a hand.) For 12 revolutions, GEGEN has opened its (w)hole to orgiastic chaos – against hierarchies, gentrification and the commercialization of queer identities – because when we scream I AM THE ANUS we mean I AM AN 'US' destroying a sense of self.

AN-AL

On January 6th 2023 at KitKatClub, GEGEN invites you to celebrate its 12th ANAL(versary) revolution by collectivizing your ANUS. The method is modest, but the possibility of action is close and infinite.

~ Dedicated to the (w)hole of you who have brought 12 years of revolutions and liberation to our dancefloors.

GEGEN PRE-CUM

or: Oh JOI! How to prepare for the Ordeal – where Everything happens but nothing is more real than Nothing.

A struggle of this kind requires Training. The Metaphor of Athletic Competition does not serve merely to designate the Nature of the Relationship one has with Desires & Pleasures; it also relates to the Preparation that enables one to withstand such a Confrontation. A properly designed Regimen includes ponoi [exercises], sitia [foods], pota [drinks], hypnoi [sleep], and aphrodisia [sexual relations] – Everything that Needs to be Measured.

1. In the Weeks leading to the Intiation, the Candidates will get ready for the Ordeal by general Athletic Training and feasting on nutritious Provisions, thus strengthening their Organism and unlocking Hidden Powers [often identified with the Unconscious Mind] that by a Variety of Techniques give Greater Perception.                                                                                                                              
   
2. On the Appointed Day, the Candidates are assisted by chosen and experienced Attendants whose Duty is to rouse them by every Known Means. Nor should the Attendants reck of Danger, but hunt down ruthlessly their Appointed Prey.                                                                                                                                                                    
3. The Attendants immobilize the Candidates in a Position that they can find convenient for the long Practice ahead, so that they may not offer any Resistance to the Impending Activities.                                                                                                                                             
4. Having ascertained the Candidate cannot move, Attendants will submit them to all known Pleasure Manoeuvers. Thereby, all Devices and Artifices of the Pharmacopornographic Era are to be employed. Such Edging will be constantly aimed at bringing the Candidate to the Climaxing Point – yet will presently halt so that the Candidate may understand the Journey on the Road of Pleasure is more important than the Destination.                                                                                                                                    
5. The Intiation will involve all Erogenous Zones – Head to Toes, Armpits to Groin, Nipples to Anus – and will be of penetrative and non-penetrative Nature, bringing Pleasure & Pain alike in the necessary Dosage. Despite changes in Rhythm & Pace, such Practices will continue relentlessly until the Attendants observe clear signs of Enlightened Desire in the Candidate. This may appear in the form of Transparent Fluids unwillingly flowing from the Genitals despite the Lack of an Apparent Climax.                                                                                                                                       
6. Thereafter the Candidate will fall into a State of utter Exhaustion. With exquisite Delicacy & Skill, the Attendants now demonstrate how Sexual Experience requires far more than adroit physical Manoeuvers. Let the Candidate be continually roused by Stimulation of an indefinite sexual Type. Yet, where convenient, Music wisely regulated will assist.                                                                                                                                                                                
7. Appropriately clothed, the Candidates will finally join the Rite. Now fully aware there is neither Failure nor Success in the Ordeal, the Candidates are forever prepared to submit to the Rule of Incessant Pleasure.

As it is written: Relax. Don't do it when you want to come.

Open me up and cut me loose.
I’ve got a vibrator and brand new boobs.
Am I your type?
Your plastic type?

P-p-p-plastic, so dildonic!
It’s official,
I’m ecstatic.
I’m so plastic,
oh so orgasmic.

Make me walk. Make me talk. Then recycle me. I can fuck like a butch. I can act like a queen. My prosthetics are so aesthetic.
Let’s go party!

I’ve got big blue hair and botox hips. I’m state of art. I’m microchipped.
Am I your love?
Your plastic love?

P-p-p-plastic, so ironic! It’s official,
I’m revolting.
I’m so plastic,
so polluting.

I’m a wetware girl in the cyborg world.
I got a plastic cock under my pink frock.
My life diversion is your perversion.
Let’s go party!

P-p-p-plastic, so subsonic!
It’s official,
I’m galactic.
I’m so plastic,
pandrogenic.

I’m a shallow curve in a straight line world.
But gotta admit it, I’m a cute cynic.
Life in plastic, iconoclastic.
No matter – Let’s go party!

So fantastic!

Originally meaning “inhabited” and ultimately “cared for”, the Latin word cultus was embodied in ceremony and ecstatic adoration. Beyond passive devotion, cultus implies the necessity for active worship, the “cultivation” necessary to give the divine its due. Many cultures identify a pattern of ceremonial behavior within a framework of spatial and temporal coordinates elected as sacred, erecting shrines for recurring rituals accessible solely to those sorted out by the wardens of the temple. Continued social tensions and discrimination require the repeated periodic release from established normativities found in catharsis; a carnival of subversions aimed at bringing the world as it is and how it should be together. Here, existence takes on a different light; new and very old meanings gather in the air. Consciousness expands.

Adorned in colorful feathers and glittery makeup, celebrants shout “We must not just liberate our desires but make ourselves infinitely more susceptible to pleasure!” as they ascend to exhilarating heights. Gesticulating flagellants in leather chokers ready for the Great Rite swirl to sparkling vocals. Burning effigies illuminate black robes marching to four/four beats as sacred vestals in industrial sanctuaries invoke the spirit that levitates over the priestess behind the altar. Join us in communion! Sacrifice your ego and your sense of reality. Confess your sins in crowded stalls. Share your offerings. Choose ascetics, your personal agenda, your prayers and your saints. Choose your Sunday best, even if it’s Friday night. Choose your own corner to get lost in the blinding lights while stuffing sacramental hosts into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all. Choose your path. Choose a future. Choose your cult and be healed!

When your streaming service has a better idea of what you want to watch next than you have... When you try to somehow reproduce the image you created of yourself on social media each and every day... When you are paying money to get back a body you never had... When the "realistically" shaped sex toy feels more intense than any human... When this hot person you are chatting with on a dating site seems to be a bot… then you have finally arrived in hyperreality.

In the hyperreality, nothing is false nor true. It is a beautiful apparatus that was created to "remember" the fiction of something real that never existed. Hence, hyperreality protects us from the consensus reality of the previous generations, which has been banned here. Influencers create identities and tell stories, inviting countless people to become part of these realities. They are not sharing news. They are making news. The hyperreality created on social media platforms is so powerful that their content and emotions are translated into physical reality.

But there are dangers to this: People can view and accept hyperreal images as models for their own reality, even though the images do not necessarily represent real people. Our own bodies are actually left behind only in the non-mediatized niches of the invisible. With these bodies, however, one does not gain access to the virtual worlds of the metaverses of the large media corporations. In their hyperrealities, the under- and overwhelming game of confusion rules. It is no longer clear exactly which fakes are supposed to be real. AI accounts act as individual personalities with artificial social circles and self-programming preferences and consequently impact trends and the process of political opinion formation.

But the entertainment industry disguises the fake because revealing it could lead to a loss of trust. True, hyperreality is the inability of consciousness to recognize reality. Nevertheless, the implosion of the medium and the real need not lead to a total loss of control (all right, sometimes losing control is exactly what we want). Let's consciously enter the hyperreal nebula and let us consciously desire the total fake and make its creation visible. It's about actively crafting a false reality that's meant to be consumed as real. It is a GEGEN space. Let's turn the dance floor into a perversion of reality and into a space that knowingly includes parts of our consensus reality while going far beyond it. An otherworldly reality in which gender and body norms are left behind and that at the same time shows traces of imperfection and vulnerability. Let's build our own collective hyperreality.

As an ongoing commitment to our queer community in Poland, also this year Gegen will actively take part of the 4th edition of the SZCZECIN’s Equality March.

On 30 July 2022, queer activists in Szczecin, Poland, are organising a Pride demonstration for the fourth time to protest against the anti-queer sentiment and policies in their country. In the face of opposition from the state, the Catholic Church and far-right movements, this takes a lot of courage, so we need to support them and show solidarity!

Together we will travel by bus to Szczecin on 30 July to join the demo.

The bus starts at 10:00 at Berlin Central Station (at the BVG bus stop on Europaplatz) and goes back there in the evening. For the trip, we will charge a solidarity fee of 10-20 euro per person. Please get in touch if you can't afford that.

You can also travel to Szczecin with the 9-euro ticket. Due to the bus journey, we will not accompany the train journeys this time. We recommend the following meeting points:

08:00 - Hauptbahnhof, in front of McDonalds
10:00 - Hauptbahnhof, in front of McDonalds

The demonstration of Szczecin Pride starts at 15:00, there will be a picnic from 12:00 Łąka Kany close to Szczecin's main railway station.

Share this call to action! Invite your friends!


We are working with the organizers to ensure out safety from the train station to the March and they have requested a rough count of how many people are coming from Berlin. We will also provide you with more detailed information on safety and logistics.

IMPORTANT

FOR SAFETY REASONS, NO ONE SHOULD TRAVEL ALONE!

We are in close contact with the organizers of the Pride Demo regarding safety precautions in Poland and will keep everyone informed. They have emphasized that it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE TRAVEL IN A GROUP AND ONCE IN POLAND NO ONE GOES OFF BY THEMSELVES.

We look forward to a joyous and successful Pride Demo in Szczecin with you!

Important information about differences between Poland and Germany:

1. Stettin is relatively open, safe and progressive city. But even here, walking around with rainbow flags and gadgets alone and/or in dark, small side streets can cause agression. Please walk together with the group and use main roads.

2. Police in Stettin supports CSD organizers and LGBT+ community. It is not common in Poland and Lambda worked long time to achieve this state of things. Please do not provoke or attack police officers. In any danger, you can turn to them for help.

3. Any kind of drugs is illegal in Poland. We believe you can have absolutely awesome fun at our CSD without artificial chemistry in your brains. Please leave it at home. Any situation involving drug possesion or drug use by CSD participans would cause the CSD organizers a lot of trouble. We have enough trouble already from Polish gov't and church, so please do not add us problems.

4. Please have in mind that displaying nudity is a contravention in Polish law. Pride Organizers kindly request to respect this on the day of CSD, to avoid media focusing on nudity rather than our main demands: protecting queer teens from self harm and suicide, hate crime protection bill, same-sex partnership/marriage, dignified transition law, anti-discrimination education in schools. We will work on body positivity when we are done with these basic rights.

5. CSD is a peaceful demonstration. We do not use any violence. If attacked (which is highly unlikely to happen), we do not fight but flee and the police takes care of the situation.

6. If you are not able to follow these requests, please do not take part in the CSD. Please follow this event for more information!
