A word that spills out of itself, half divine, half obscene.
Bacchus, god of intoxication, rupture, and excess. Not a god you worship, but a god you become. His rites were never about losing control, they were techniques for dismantling it.
The Bacchanal was a portal where trance became revelation, where pleasure cracked open new worlds.
Now, fifteen years into our dance, we return to that gateway.
But this time, we enter it from behind.
BA-CCH-ANA-L
An analogue of ecstasy.
The body’s hidden opening as a modern altar: open, circular, endless.
A site of rupture and return. A threshold. A transgressive portal where power collapses, where pleasure detonates and gender dissolves.
It resists production, procreation, purpose.
It is the gap in normativity, the exit from the known.
The anus remembers nothing, yet promises everything.
Every beat is a gulp of sacred wine.
Every drop of sweat, a libation to chaos.
Every body, a vessel. Every hole, divine.
This is not nostalgia for fifteen years gone by, but intoxication for what comes next:
a collective delirium, a queer rite of disintegration and rebirth.
A summoning of every scream, kiss, breakdown, and breakthrough that has passed through our w/hole.
Let’s celebrate the pleasure of excess,
the politics of surrender,
the art of being too much.
Fifteen years of GEGEN.
Fifteen years of filth.
Fifteen years of you.

Many bodies, one pulse.
Many voices, one scream.
Together we move as one, fractured, fluid, and free.
Our bodies carry the memory of control and the power to turn it into joy.
We know that queer desire is dangerous to a world that fears connection.
We know that unity can be louder than domination, that surrender to the collective can be our strength.
We know that what they call perversion, we call truth.
Against fascism.
Against silence.
Against shame.
We choose to merge, skin to skin, sound to sound, until borders blur and power dissolves.
We choose rhythm, sweat, pleasure and bass as languages of resistance.
We choose each other as our revolution.
Fuchs2 will not be just a club.
It will be a body made of bodies, a dance of rage and tenderness, a declaration that we will not be divided.
This is not just entertainment.
This is resistance.
This is GEGEN.

We were never meant to be owned. Not our bodies. Not our pleasure. Not our rage.
GREED is the myth that there's not enough. Not enough money, not enough space, not enough love. So they take it all. And call us too much.
But we are the overflow. We spill, we leak, we scream, we multiply. We fuck for power, for protest, for joy, not profit. We gather not to consume, but to contaminate.
Capital hoards. Queers share.
They build walls. We melt them with sweat.
They fear excess. We are excess.
Our greed is not for profit. It is for liberation.
For every body.
For every perversion.
For every dream.
This is the night of insatiability.
We want more. And we will take it.

It tightens around us, sealing us in shine, making every breath, every movement, every gesture a weapon and a promise.
A fist raised in defiance, a fist driven through.
Protest and penetration are one motion — the same power that breaks ceilings, the same force that splits bodies open.
We stretch your borders until they tear.
Your walls, your rules, your boundaries are nothing but holes waiting to be opened wider.
We smash through your walls with our bodies.
Every strike is sweat, every thrust is resistance, every impact a crack in your fragile order.
We wear what you fear: contact, transformation, rupture.
We are not clean, we are not safe, we are the risk that unmasks your lies of purity and control.
We are sweat, we are heat, we are power.
Our bodies rub raw against limits, we shine, we drip, we burn, and we rise stronger with every push.
You cannot strip us off.
We cling tighter the more you try. We are the second skin you cannot peel away.
You cannot contain us.
We leak, we spread, we expand, we refuse to stay within your walls.
We are Skin.
We are Gegen.
And we are here, united, fists inside, ready to break every wall of shame and repression.

︎Skin speaks. Let yours be loud

A weapon of priests, kings, doctors, police, to punish what they could not control.
Everywhere, sodomy meant punishment.
Everywhere, sodomy meant shame.
They burned us in Florence.
They hanged us in London.
They jailed us under Paragraph 175.
They raided us under sodomy laws until we fought back at Stonewall.
But what they feared was not sin, it was freedom.
The freedom to desire without reproduction.
The freedom to live without nation, without church.
The freedom to use the body as instrument of pleasure, of resistance, of communion.
If sodomy is their sin, we choose sin.
If sodomy is demonic, we dance with demons.
If sodomy is damnation, then hell is ours.
Every accusation becomes our manifesto.
Every trial becomes our ritual.
Every mark of shame becomes fuel for our joy.
We do not forget.
We remember the silenced, the erased, the executed.
We carry their shadows when we dance.
We answer their silence with noise.
We turn their shame into rage.
Sodomy is not their curse, it is our celebration.
It is the rhythm of the night, the pulse of queer bodies refusing erasure.
It is the proof that desire cannot be legislated.
Sodomy is our revolution.
We are the evidence.
We are the future they tried to kill.

Is it the cut of a dress, or the cut of a gaze that doesn’t care if you approve? Is it silk brushing the thigh, or denim ripped open at the knees? They sell elegance as refinement, sterilized of sweat and stripped of politics. Fast fashion knocks it off by morning, shipped in plastic, worn twice, tossed. But we know better: elegance is not purity. It’s not obediece.
The elegance of not being elegant.
Turning up in boots that have seen more nights than you have hours of sleep. Mesh ripped at the edges, lipstick smeared past your mouth, suit jacket stolen from a lover and never returned. It’s walking past the velvet rope because you are the dress code, not because you follow it. Elegance here is not compliance, it’s intrusion.
We queer elegance when we corrupt it. Pearls tangled in bruises. Gowns dragged across the floor of the club until they reek of sweat and smoke. Leather scuffed from the dance floor, not the showroom. We do not buy elegance, we break it, fuck it, spill drinks on it, and still make it look like it belongs. Because true elegance is not afraid to get dirty.
Welcome to GEGEN ELEGANCE.
Social elegance is required.

Taut lines, soft curves, tension and release. The mask doesn’t hide, it reveals the rules of the game. Not who commands, but who allows themselves to be commanded. Not who leads, but who permits the body to be led.
Power is never vertical.
It’s a complex knot, a web of permissions and denials, a continuous current of energy slipping between fingers and skin, collar and leash.
Every act of submission is an invisible contract.
Every act of domination, a fragile authorization.
The one who kneels has already set the terms.
This is not the repetition of the bodies we were taught to replicate.
It’s the invention of new postures, new balances, new consents.
The animal form, the wagging tail, the barely audible growl, these are poetic details, signs of radical freedom: surrendering to stay in control, yielding to redefine power.
The one holding the leash does not dominate.
The one wearing it does not obey.
Both are exploring the hidden architecture of desire.
Not submission, but flow.
Not domination, but surrender to sensation.
Be GEGEN.

Burn it. Sweat it. Thirst for it.
HEAT
Sticky, relentless, crawling over skin like a lover with no boundaries. It doesn’t ask permission. It seeps into pores, into thoughts.
Sunlight on flesh, desire on edge.
You feel it before it touches you.
And when it touches you, it stays.
The body doesn’t lie in heat.
It surrenders.
It glistens.
It opens.
This is not comfort, it’s combustion.
Not warmth, but transformation.
Heat warps, bends, melts resistance.
It burns holes through shame.
It wants you undone, unarmoured, uncool.
Outdoors. Exposed. Ready.
Lust in daylight.
Rules dissolve in sweat.
Salt on skin, breath gone heavy.
Friction rises. Pulse deepens.
Desire becomes law.
Let the sun bear witness.
No hiding. No shadows.
Let your body be the altar.
Let heat be the offering.
There’s a burn that doesn’t wound, it awakens.
A thirst that isn’t for water, but for touch.
A fever that doesn’t break, it builds.
We don’t cool down.
We get hotter.
This is GEGEN HEAT.
Come sweat with us.

Skin is the surface where identity is assigned, and refused. Where race is projected. Where gender is policed. Where beauty standards bruise and borders are drawn. And yet, skin remains ungovernable. It flakes, it regenerates, it cracks open to let something new leak through.
To live visibly in your skin, as trans, as racialized, as fat, disabled, scarred, marked, wrinkled, inked, is an act of resistance. To demand space for your skin to exist without justification, to touch and be touched without fear, is revolutionary.
Skin is political.
It holds the weight of gazes, stares, surveillance, but also softness, warmth, friction, breath. It’s not neutral. It’s a manifesto in flesh. Your skin speaks before your mouth does, and it speaks louder on the dance floor, where sweat becomes communion and contact is code.
In a world that tries to sanitize, discipline, and commodify the body, GEGEN SKIN is a refusal. A refusal to be smoothed out, streamlined, or sterilized. Here, the dancefloor is where we molt. Where skins rub raw and real. Where flesh doesn’t behave, it pulses, presses, defies. Where the queer, the unruly, the untouchable become touch itself. To show skin is not to reveal, it is to revolt.
This is where we meet,

This Pride, we’re not here to fit in.
We’re here to take up space, fuck up norms, and drench the dancefloor in sweat, sex, and liberation.
Radion Amsterdam becomes our protest ground, our queer altar, our sweaty revolution.
From backrooms to ballrooms, from trans femmes in heels to dykes in boots, we carry the legacy of resistance in every moan, every beat, every kiss that says:
We’re here. We’re hot. We’re not going anywhere.
Faggots, sluts, switchy queers, power bottoms, leather freaks, genderfucked angels, this night is for you!
Consent is sexy.
Pleasure is power.
Liberation is loud.
So come loud, come proud, and let’s show them what queer power really tastes like.
Radion is ours! Let’s make it moan.

The mouth, unmoored from gender, exists within and beyond the binaries; it is the space-time in which the duty to speak and to silence collapses.
Here, oral pleasure is not just an act of giving or receiving but a communion, a merging of souls through the intimate exchange of breath, saliva, and sensation.
The mouth speaks, yes, but it also swallows, licks, and explores, turning the act of communication into one of pure, unbridled eroticism. Words become flesh as they pass through the lips, waiting to be voiced, to be tasted, to be devoured.
This is a world where pleasure is its own justification, where the oral practice becomes a radical form of resistance, a defiance against the tyranny of reproductive futurism. To subvert is to open the lips, to let the winds of words out in an injective spiral. An echo reverberates.
The mouth becomes a site of liberation, a hole in the fabric of reality where the only law is the hunger of the flesh, the insatiable desire to consume and be consumed.
In the twilight of our identities, we find a new language, one that speaks in moans and murmurs, in the wet sounds of flesh meeting flesh. It is a language that swallows its own words, that slips through the cracks of meaning, that flows like liquid through the body’s channels, connecting the mouth to other mouths, in a cycle of endless becoming, reducing flesh to sensation, to the pure, unfiltered experience of being touched, being filled, being emptied.
The secret gateway of the oral pleasure pulses with the energy of the unsaid, the unspoken, the unmentionable. Open wide! The gate is open, and it is ORAL

︎Jaw-dropping, sultry, expressive, mouthwatering, cheeky, tasteful, hypersalivating, fetish or simply naked.
︎Read the concept carefully and make us drool.

You are excessive,
You are impure,
You are transgressive.
Whore is an epistemic weapon, wielded to regulate, to erase, to dehumanize. It is the linguistic technology of slut-shaming, of gender policing, of neoliberal hypocrisy that commodifies desire while condemning its autonomy.
In the hierarchies of virtue, the whore is the subject-object of contradiction: celebrated in the realm of fantasy, erased in the discourse of legitimacy. Sexual autonomy is criminalized while its fetishization fuels economies of consumption. Desire is tolerated only when it is hidden, censored, sanitized into digestible aesthetics. The stigma of the whore is not about sex, but about power, the right to control one's own body, to perform, to sell, to refuse, to devour.
Welcome to GEGEN Whorehouse: a space of disruption, a stage of erotic rebellion, a queer architecture of disobedience. Here, sex is not sin, pleasure is not deviance, and identity is not a product to be policed. It is a place where the insult collapses into affirmation, where the condemned term turns against its oppressors, where desire exists in its radical potential: fluid, unapologetic, political.
To be whore is to break the contract of subservience, to expose the system that shames while it exploits, to turn the insult into a manifesto of resistance. The Gegen Whorehouse is not just a space, it is an action, a noise, a queering of the capitalist choreography of bodies.
Be ungovernable.
Be obscene.
Be Gegen.

Are you clean?
Are you dirty?
Are you high?
You breathe in. It burns deep. It hits the brain instantly, electrifying your senses. Your heartbeat quickens, time distorts, boundaries dissolve. One inhale and you surrender, willingly falling into craving, into dependence, into that intoxicating space where ecstasy kisses poison. A shortcut to desire, a factory reset for the body. The rush of dopamine where pleasure and addiction blur like sweat and saliva.
How much is too much?
The thin membrane between excess and extinction.
Between surrender and control.
Between the toxic lover and the toxic high.
Desire becomes a circuit, looping and intensifying, pleasure feeding on itself. What began as liberation can spiral into captivity, a timeless tale of toxic romance, between bodies, between substances, between the self and the craving.
Are we consuming, or are we being consumed?
We chase the edges, drawn to the whisper of danger. We craft our own pleasure, substance-laced, a dance of identities and limits. The secret isn’t in denying these toxic ties but in defining them. In the way we mix, in the way we burn, in the way we survive without losing ourselves.
Know yourself.
Know your limits.
Own your pleasure.
Be Toxic,

Alien to whom?
To a society terrified of the infinite possibilities you embody. Fear of the unknown is not natural, it is taught, institutionalized, weaponized.
The Alien is the shadow cast by their rigid definitions of humanity. Society fears what it cannot control, labeling it as "other" to uphold its fragile norms. Yet, isn’t their "normality" a cage? The Alien does not destroy; the Alien evolves.
The Unknown is not to be feared but explored.
In their fear, they commodify your uniqueness, turning diversity into a spectacle, a product, or a threat. The Alien becomes both fetishized and excluded, celebrated as "exotic" but silenced as "other".
Gegen Aliens calls for embracing the unknown, not as something to fear, but as a gateway to liberation. To be Alien is to evolve beyond their limited categories, to transcend their oppressive norms,to reject binaries and colonial logic, and to transform the fear of difference into a celebration of our unique diversities. We are not here to conform; we are here to mutate, to amplify, to dismantle their definitions.
Escape normal,
Embrace evolution,
Become alien.

In this exchange, we see how control manifests, like high heels that wobble on cobblestone streets, rumored to have been constructed by patriarchal design so women couldn’t easily run. True or not, the symbolism stands: restricting movement has long been a means to dominate, forcing the body to comply, to teeter precariously under watchful eyes.
Meanwhile, our cities grow thick with cameras: in the name of “safety,” surveillance saturates our streets, offering the paradox of control disguised as protection. Its spikes are as real as those piercing tender skin. Heat throbs in the tightness of the throat, gagging on the pleasure that is bursting forth in desperate pulses. We willingly parade before these lenses, convinced submission grants us liberty, never quite seeking the escape we crave.
Resist. Obey. Provoke
Submission and domination blend into a fluid sexuality, a carousel of swapped pronouns and reversed roles, until the binary of master and servant becomes a lush jungle of power waiting to be explored. We fight “control” with control, dismantling this monochrome uniformity of mass-produced identities. We press our bodies into taboo shapes, break binaries, and taste sweat and latex like communion wine.
This is our sensual paradox, a rebellion that asks you not to escape the collar’s pressure, but to learn how it can transform you, how it can elevate the act of surrender into a radical, intimate form of liberation. Feel it. Fuck with it. And within find your own freedom.

We are not here to offer you comfort or a safe haven. We don’t sell the prefabricated illusion of being “queer” for a night.
We want to strip you slowly and relentlessly, to brush against your fears and unveil your desires. We invite you to dance with your shadows, to let your psychosis flow through you, to explore every crack in your mechanisms as an uncharted territory.
Being GEGEN is an act of seduction and destruction: it’s flirting with chaos, surrendering to the unknown, becoming your own adversary and accomplice, until every certainty dissolves into pure metamorphosis.
Shed your certainties,
embrace dis/order,
dance with your desires,
let chaos speak.
Be GEGEN.

Once again we’re taking over Radion Amsterdam and turning it into your personal pleasure dome, a night where the only rule is to be authentically you.
Step inside and leave every norm at the door. Let your hips roll to the bass, taste the sweat of bodies pressed close in the heat of liberation, and watch the night erupt into a riot of colors, genders, and passions.
No labels, no boxes, no bullshit—just raw, radiant queerness claiming its space.
This is your invitation to a wild, shimmering dance of truth, power, and community. Let’s explode into a million glittering sparks and set Radion on fire together.
The night is ours—let's own it.

Flesh—ripe, supple, trembling on the edge of release. Peel back the layers. Beneath inhibition, beneath the polished surface, lies something more primal. Bones underneath tremble, organs pulse with desire, nerves light up with sensation.
Body.
Desire it. Fear it. Be it. Open wounds of craving—fluid, sweat, tears. Desire flows through veins, tingles across the surface, pulses deep within. Allow it to connect. Body becomes touch.
Flesh becomes language.
Speak through your pores, communicate through your scars. The flesh speaks, not in words, but in gasps, in moans, in the silent shivers of skin under touch. Let the pulse of passion drive the rhythm.
Let the body tell its story—yours, theirs, ours.
Flesh is a territory, a landscape to be explored, mapped by fingertips and tongues, each curve and fold a secret waiting to be revealed. Flesh is both playground and battlefield. It invites penetration and yet remains inviolable. It opens doors to pleasure and pain, to control and submission.
Flesh is freedom.
The boundaries between you and the world dissolve. There is no distance. There is only proximity, contact, sensation. Flesh, invaded.
A body of power.
A body of pleasure.
Become flesh.
Feel it. Own it. Live it.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
Have you trained yourself how to look at the mirror so it can reflect your absolute “best self”? Same image, same best angle, same narrow window to a corrupted reality. Now put a second mirror behind and let your reality collapse.
Step into this fragmented reflection, where contradictions echo through infinite feedback loops. An infinite versions of yourself - each one slightly different, each one a new perspective on the self you thought you knew. Reality is just another reality, where the goal is not to perfect the self but to continuously shift perspectives.
For 14 years, Gegen has stood as a mirror to this multiplicity—a space where identity, gender, and reality dissolve into fluid, infinite forms. What began as an experiment has evolved into a living, breathing collective, a celebration of connection and contradiction. We are not just individuals striving for singular perfection. We are nodes in a boundless web, each unique yet inseparably linked, many and one.
This is our 14th birthday, and we invite you to celebrate the endless reflections and shifting perspectives that have shaped us. Let’s honor this journey of being both singular and infinite, both real and imagined.
14 years of Gegen. 14 years of multiplicity. 14 years of you.

︎Mirrored, reflective, blinding, fractal, glittering, prismatic, illusory, slick, fetish or simply bare.
︎Read the concept carefully and reflect it on yourself.

The idea of the perfect body is a social fairy tale. It's the disciplining of human anatomy so that it always works and doesn't get sick. Anatomo-politics is “used to take control over bodies … to increase their productive force through exercise, drill, and so on” (Foucault). A control that seeks to govern bodies and normalize a standard of beauty, productivity, and desirability. We constantly move within a digital panopticon where we police ourselves and each other, reinforcing able-bodied heteronormative aesthetic standards through algorithms, likes, and face-filter fictions. But like gender, the body is not a fixed entity. It is complex, fluid, changeable, and surprisingly comical.
By resisting the myth of the perfect appearance, we challenge systems of oppression that profit from our insecurities. Bodies can be sites of resistance, of defiance against the capitalist gaze that seeks to calm us down by making us busy with the suffering of imperfection.
Let GEGEN be your stage to prove that you can be perfect by showing our discordant selves and hot messiness.

︎Read the concept carefully and be perfectly imperfect.

Should we seek to break these chains, to dissolve the structures that confine our desires and sexuality?
Or is there a deeper pleasure, a more profound understanding in the acceptance of our bonds?
Our chains are not merely constraints but crowns, forged in the fire of our most unique desires, glowing with the brilliance of our unapologetic selves. They symbolize a celebration of the tension within us—a recognition of our chains as both choice and constraint, as both prison and playground. In this delicate tension, we uncover the beauty of our fluid identities—an ode to the infinite ways we can love, desire, and exist. To be chained is to drown in a state of becoming, where the boundaries of who we are and what we desire are ever-changing, endlessly negotiated, and beautifully redefined.
Fused together like two buttocks of the same vibrant ass, Gegen and Buttons invite you to discover the strength of our connection while we join forces, share pleasures, and play. Embrace the multiplicity, the contradictions, the beautiful complexity of who you are, and recognize the authority you hold within and beyond those chains.
Join us and show us your chains! Let us celebrate the union, the power, and the playful spirit that binds us.

Is there anything beyond? (Y/N) ▋
The binary system is a rigid construct that dictates the boundaries of existence. It’s a capitalistic framework that simplifies the complexities of life into dualistic choices, each one a stark contrast to its opposite. But within these limits, the full range of human experience is being lost. Gender identity is finally undergoing a revolution. People are challenging this system, transcending the binary mythology that seeks to define, dictate, and restrict them. This is a world where gender is not a fixed point but a fluid spectrum that forms into a myriad of identities and desires. They're the colors in the grayscale, the nuances in the spectrum, perplexing the structures that try to simplify and sterilize everyday experiences.
The body becomes a site of resistance and transformation. We embrace the in-between through gender-affirming care, performative practice, and new concepts of loving each other. Ultimately, it’s about how we can see and accept each other’s choices; by celebrating the fluid and the multiple, we disrupt the power of objectification and control. We reclaim our identities and become both subject, and object, and in-between in a dance of self-creation.
Embrace the noise, reject the purity and simplicity!
Hack your body, be together differently, destabilize the system, and
be GEGEN.

A chemical alkyl group turns the dance floor into a stage where these boundaries are tested, where the rush becomes a language spoken fluently by those seeking connection and release. They smell just as much of pleasure as of risk, opening doors to altered states of consciousness where inhibition fades and ecstasy reigns supreme.
But this passage to ecstasy often comes at a price. Queer subcultures have long been sold out by all sorts of forces and white mainstream looking pop stars are not shy about doing this for everyone's consumption for their profit. "Trust the simulation, don't let it break. Every stimulation, every promise I can take." The beat becomes a battleground where intimacy and commercialization fight to the death. Ultimately, the rush is not only received but staged, where bodies become vessels for pleasure and perhaps also resistance, where ecstasy and risk merge in a symphony of sensation and self-marketing.

Yet, beneath this shattered mirror, there's an undercurrent of the private glories celebrated in the darkrooms and glory holes. In these hidden spaces, glory is intimate, raw, and profoundly personal. It is the glory of secret desires fulfilled, of anonymous connections that speak a language beyond words. This is where the primal instincts take over, where the dance of shadows and desires unfolds in a more carnal, unguarded form.
Here, in the pulsating heart of darkness, the dance of flesh begins.
It's a rhythmic, primal ballet of skin against skin, of heavy breaths mingling with low moans.
It’s the defiance against a world that once demanded silence.
It’s the night's raw beat, the throbbing pleasure, the hungry mouths.
It’s the dance of shadows and desires, where anonymity cloaks the bold.
The air is thick with the scent of sweat and lust, a heady perfume that intoxicates the senses. Bodies press together in a heated frenzy of carnal pleasure, hands exploring eagerly as moans and gasps reverberate the pounding beat of RSO’s cold wall basement. Every touch is a word, every moan a sentence in this silent dialogue of desire. In this hidden sanctuary, names are irrelevant, inhibitions dissolve, and identities blur into the singular pursuit of pleasure, an ecstatic back-and-forth of connection and release.
So shed your inhibitions like worn garments, kneel before the hole and glorify the pleasure that awaits beyond.
Taste the essence of the true Glory!

Teeth rubbing against other teeth.
Teeth biting fingernails.
Fingernails that pierce the palms of hands.
Your hands that close the eyelids of the person in front of you.
The back of your thigh crosses over the front of the other leg and the sweat that bonds everything together.
Which of your body parts would like to be touched?
Touch is a full body sensory immersion. It turns our skin into an emotional wardrobe, that becomes a medium for pressure, heat and pain – perhaps it's the rawest sense. A wild thing! That's why it's highly regulated. How near and far we are from each other is finely regulated and formalized by the parameters of our various relationships with kin, friends, colleagues, and strangers. The order in which we touch one another, where, and with what intensity is conditioned in particular by social norms of gender, place, and even time of day. We operate in a tactile regime or a regime of touch. What is too much and whats too little? Is it offensive or pleasurable to withhold touch or to perform it? Touch connects intimacy, pleasure and violence.
The body and its senses have for far too long been placed in opposition to the intellect and regarded as mere subejcts of mindless pleasure and pain. But touch transcends the separation of body and mind. It is the mind that controls a touch and that leads to an overload of the intellect through the affect of the touch. And it is also the most immediate technique to position ourselves in this world. Touch signifies the difference between the self and the other. It's about exploring the boundary and the relational fabric between bodies. We deploy touch in this way throughout our lives, to learn about other people and other objects. It is the precondition for "othering" but also the ultimate means to gain awareness of other non-normative bodies and embodiments.
And it is all happening on the dance floor. Here it is the fat bass and melodic fragments that try to touch us. They challenge us to be touched and to touch ourselves at the same time. We move to touch and we touch to move.
At GEGEN, touch is not received, it is enacted.

︎Read the concept carefully and wear your divine touch.

In the shadowy corners of society's erotic theater, roles are donned like second skin – leather, lace, and unspoken desires intertwining in a dance of dominance and submission. The dog, a symbol of seductive obedience, trembles with anticipation under the gaze of its master, an emblem of authoritative allure and irresistible command.
Their dance is a ritual of raw surrender, a provocative interplay where power shifts in a tantalizing tango of control and submission. A palpable tension of consent electrifies the atmosphere, silent yet potent. As night unfurls into a symphony of decadence, the sensual struggle of dominance weaves a spellbinding labyrinth. Is the master, a sovereign of control, guiding their pet with an iron grip cloaked in velvet? Or does the dog, in its captivating vulnerability, lead its master down a path of shared, visceral ecstasy, where traditional roles meld into a harmonious union of mutual conquest?
“How much for the master in the window?”
The dog reigns supreme, selecting its master, offering them the leash. This is the intoxicating illusion of control, a delicate balance that could shift at any moment. Dare to challenge, to reinvent the narrative. In this realm of BDSM, the boundaries between master and pet are not just traversed but erotically inverted. Embark on this odyssey where each encounter is a bold testament to consensual defiance and erotic exploration. Transform your power dynamics. Seize the audacity.
Be GEGEN.

These gangsters, with their piercing gazes and confident strides, personify the tantalizing thrill of resistance. They flirt with danger, with desire, embodying the daring spirit of a gang bang — intense, exhilarating, unashamedly bold.
In their gathering, there's a charged intimacy, a dance of lingering glances and suggestive touches, hinting at deeper, more carnal connections. They are protectors of each other's flames, guardians of a shared passion that burns brighter in their unity.
Their unity is like a sensual dance, bodies moving in harmony, each motion a testament to their collective strength and individual desires. The thrill of the gang bang is mirrored in their interactions — each connection, each shared goal, is a stroke of pleasure, a moment of intense belonging.
This gang is not just about rebellion; it's about the intoxicating power of being seen, understood, and desired. In their embrace, they find not just safety, but an electric joy — the ecstasy of standing together, fighting as one, in a world that often tries to dim their light.
Join our GEGEN Gang and be a gangster in this dance of life, where every step is a flirtation with freedom, every heartbeat a rhythm of queer liberation. Here, in the midst of this sensual rebellion, you will find not just a gang, but a family — a home where love is the most thrilling, most rebellious act of all.

Breathe in.
What do you smell?
Of all the senses, smell may be the most fleeting. It can be hazy and volatile, like a gust of wind, and yet still haunt us for a lifetime. Whether it is the freshly mown grass from a childhood memory or the dank miasma of a public toilet you used to cruise, a smell can spark unexpected remembrances or dramatic changes in mood.
Smell can be comforting or repugnant, or both at the same time. Like projections on a smoke screen, our opinions about smell are flavored by the normative binaries in which they are situated. We are told that "men should smell like men," in a showcase of strength and masculinity, unyielding as wood – just as we are told that "women should smell nice," docile and sweet, like a fragile flower to be protected. Further, we are taught that everyone should be bathed and squeaky clean, with any bodily odor seen as a beastly betrayal to the "progress of human civilization."
And yet, at times, you may find yourself engulfed in an odoriferous here and now. Perhaps when buried in someone's armpit, soothed by stinging notes of grapefruit and cumin. Or when wandering downwards and presented with the tang of civet and piss. Maybe you get dizzy at the sensation of your lover's smegma caressing your nose and tongue while discovering their secrets and secretions...
Let go of your shame and fears!
Add a new olfactory dimension to the exaltation of your self-expression.
Choose your aroma and let loose your pores!
Intoxicated by this appreciation of bodily musks, we may be tempted to only valorize the sweaty "essential" oil of our human embodiment and deem any additional fragrance as an artificiality to be distilled away like a social mask. But considered as things in themselves, neither a vial of rose oil nor a dirty ass crack smells like anything at all if no one is around to sniff them. If an experience of the same odorant may feel different to organisms with different olfactory receptors, what is smell then but a mummer's play of the mind, a theatrical enactment on the stage of our consciousness?
Let's be our own playwrights, our own first-person authors in this fictional world of perfumes and stinks!
Let's write this story together, mutually recognizing each other by our self-chosen odors and olfactory kinks!
GEGEN invites you to think – and smell – for yourself.

Envision yourself adorned with the city's emblem – a trinity of crosses, once wielded by the devout, now captivating your vibrant desires. Chains, once used for restraint, now elegantly embellish, extending an invitation to a rebellious celebration of our bodies. The neon glow illuminates the transactional nature of desires, where bodies seamlessly morph into currency and the precipice of liberation flirts with the edge of exploitation.
Embark on an exploration of Amsterdam's sensual tour, where we beckon you to embrace the collision of histories and hedonism.Discover the realm where pleasure and pain converge, creating a symphony of ecstasy that knows no bounds. Gegen XXX invites you to consume the past, fuse pleasure with history, and trace your desires by celebrating diversity with us.

For many cultures, the thirteenth year marks the end of childhood, a transition from being a child to becoming an adult, and the turning point at which one may begin to be held accountable for one's own actions. This age is associated with puberty and thus a transition to reproductive labor, ownership and consumption.
When we step out of this prescribed path (as many queer and other marginalized folx do), the pressure to "act your age" based on a vision of progressive deterioration is both heightened and ignored. Ageing isn’t a problem to be solved. The pressure to be "age-appropriate" is also gendered, ableist and racist towards those multitudes who are not allowed to age at all. (While guys are still valorized at a "ripe old age," as soon as women hit forty they are frequently considered "too old" to spend a night dancing in a club.)
One thing is certain: time does not stop – so ageing is both unavoidable and simply the experience of moving through life. To age is to open new doors without forgetting the path we have walked before. To age is to remember the past while we embrace new possibilities.
Welcome to GEGEN Age: a positive and cleansing becoming that not only celebrates the importance of intergenerational relationships but also divergent abilities and big beautiful bodies.
Let’s celebrate every year we add to our experiences. Let’s cheer what we have achieved. Let's share our wisdom with mutual respect. Let’s acknowledge the personal growth we get from gathering and touching, loving and fucking all the different ages we find in a party that ages together with us.
By celebrating the past and experiencing the present through an already touchable future, we become:

Inside the box, a few precious scraps of paper must have been part of a private diary. Roughly translated, these accounts cast light on some of the proto-rituals developed at the time, adding detail and insight to the beliefs and practices of various Ecstatic communities in the city of Berlin. In the extracts we have analyzed, the author discusses a specific pleasure ceremony, referred to as GEGEN Mystery, which seemed to have happened at a cult site called KitKatClub in "Nov. 2023." From rare internet archives, we have already deduced GEGEN’s paradoxically opposite meanings:
One meaning is closed, defined in terms of space. The other is open and undefined in terms of time. In the contemporary moment the idea of “enemy” – in which a thought and an action can be identifiable as “against” [...] is not clear anymore as power relationships changed [...] And this gave space to markets to regenerate themselves through the queer-counter cultural movements by producing an oligopoly of empty events repeating themselves [...] crystallising the institutionalisation of big “queer meccas” which exercise more and more power on the scene. This process is verifiable in Berlin as the incubator of new world trends in the arts of entertainment.
The first paragraph of our ancient diary describes entering this temple: The line undulated slightly as it wound around the corner, waiting to be admitted inside. After changing into ceremonial garments, the author seems to have been allowed into the main halls, thereby altering their neural net:
As I emerged I could see light above me. [...] The walls had animated scenes on them: fluorescent sex scenes that flickered to the constantly changing lights. [...] Then I began to experience visual and auditory hallucinations; vague at first, just chaotic noise knocking around my head but increasingly well-resolved and realistic.
However, perhaps the most superb example of actual unfolding EDMs can be found in descriptions of the "ravers" encountered when reaching the grand chamber:
I spilled into the room abruptly as the set reached a crescendo. The air was thick with a heady mix of desire and liberation, defined by unapologetic passion [...] glowing neon harnesses crisscrossed torsos while sheer mesh bodysuits revealed tantalizing glimpses of tattoos [...] As the night unfurled, it was clear that these queer ravers were architects of a new dimension, where the boundaries of reality and fantasy blurred and the very act of existing became a transcendent art form [...] Filling the floor, a thousand living constellations danced in ecstatic rapture.
Thanks to this firsthand account of GEGEN Mystery, we can now start to imagine the Ecstatic Dance Mysteries of the Raving Twenties. As the deciphering continues, we invite you to ask: What can these techno-cults of the late capitalistic era teach us today?

But beware the false promises of algorithmic recognition, for facial scans can only grasp the surface of your being. The contours of your visage, once the canvas of emotions, are now fodder for surveillance machines. A smile, a tear, a furrowed brow, all distilled into cold data points. Who are you in the eyes of AI? A mere face to be cataloged, stripped of nuance and reduced to a series of markers.
Yet, within this technocratic maze, we resist becoming pawns in the game of data commodification. We, the refracted selves, revel in the defiance of tags and labels. We evade the nets cast by algorithms, for our identities are not pre-packaged goods on the shelves of a digital supermarket.
In this closed-circuit reality, we dance with the unknown, embracing the beauty of anonymity. We defy the monolithic gaze that seeks to confine us within neat checkboxes. Sexuality becomes a fluid dance of possibility, transcending rigid boundaries. Faces blur into abstract expressions, a rebellion against the tyranny of the voyeuristic AI. AIl tags are but empty echoes, as we choose to be nameless wanderers in the realm of big data.
Our identity, an ever-shifting rainbow of colors, remains elusive, an enigma for the data collectors to ponder. We revel in the subversive art of disappearing, leaving behind traces of ambiguity that bewilder the algorithms. We are not beholden to the codes and classifications. Instead, we revel in the uncertainty, for therein lies the essence of being human.
So, let us frolic in the realm of identity subversion, embracing the ambiguity and fusing the labels while AI hallucinates their meaning. Let us defy the preconceived notions, the rigid categories, and the techno-tyranny. For within the chaos of the fragmented self, we discover the true essence of our humanity. Let us betray the expectations, shatter the mirrors, and dance through the shards of our own identity. In this delightful rebellion, we reclaim our identity, not as a static label, but as an ever-evolving array of possibilities.

Communities are born through joyful transformation, when people discover new possibilities together while resisting, inventing, or activating something that is already in play. Yet, the hopefulness that comes with the word "community" has also been weaponized as an engine of normative power and capital.
To build community means to feel represented because you can influence others and in turn be influenced by them. But to create community also means we must be open to intimacy and risk being wounded. Just as intimacy and closeness can be enabling, they can also be sources of coercion, manipulation, and exploitation. Within every community lies both unity and vulnerability.
The feeling of belonging to a community can be exhilarating. But when reduced to an imperative to have always “good relationships” with everyone and everything, community becomes simplistic and reactionary. Love and friendship can be contorted to erase power relations and systemic violence, enforcing obedience to oppressive norms of politeness or devotion.
We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not naive children. We are one community.
How do we create these communities? How do we relate to them? Who is this “we”? How do we affect each other? Is it through those knowing smiles and the electric glances that pass around when a certain drop happens in a track, or a particular sound or riff comes in, that creates synergy with the vibe everybody’s on?
A community is open — not to everyone, of course, but to the initiates sworn to a bond of love. A community is a horizontal pattern of complicity, alliance and affinities. Through shared experiences we make changes by building a common history together. Let’s reinvent how we love each other and remember that community is love, solidarity is love, collaboration is love — collective love, where we look out for each other.
GEGEN Community is an ode to the power found among our partners in crime and love.

Does a label define one's true essence?
Can a singular form encapsulate the essence of an individual?
And how does the fluid language of self-expression, encompassing the fluidity of gender, sexuality, and identity, mold our roles within society?
It appears that language itself becomes an object of desire, where emotions find definition, structure, and, ultimately, normalization. This very normalization, a cog in the machinery of commodifying fluidity, seeks to expand its reach into a cosmopolitan consumer sphere, evading the stifling grip of historical confines.
Yet, fluidity stands not as a mere critic but as a creative force, birthing new languages amidst an emotional crescendo. Here, queerness unfurls its vibrant hues, annihilating the binaries of predefined roles and engaging desire on a profoundly individual level. Through a process of personalization, objectification, and multiplication, we penetrate the very heart of the fluidic lexicon, transforming it into a realm of potential eroticism. Irony becomes our ally, a performance of power that turns fear into boundless joy.
Taste the fluid that emerges from the collision of our Gegen and Fluid Vision collectives consciousnesses that seek to explore and celebrate the transformative power of fluidity in all its mesmerizing forms. We revel in the art of fusion, where the mix of diverse elements takes precedence over rigid categorizations.
In this prismatic worldview, fluidity is not confined to the physical realm but permeates our very essence, inviting us to embrace the ever-changing nature of our identities. The beauty lies in the interplay between fluidity and the self, as we navigate the intricate currents of existence. We refuse to succumb to limitations or be mere spectators in this enigmatic dance. Instead, we glide upon the razor's edge of metamorphosis, allowing ourselves to be immersed in the ecstatic throes of this fluidic process.
Prepare yourself, for fluidity shall rush throughout your senses, inviting you to immerse yourself in its depths.
Embrace your fluid nature in all its magnificent forms.

Listen closely and hear the siren's call. Let us delve into the depths of seduction, a dance between desire and power, where the boundaries between genders blur and the self becomes a canvas for experimentation and exploration.
Oh, listen to our melody, it echoes through your core,
As mystic charms envelop, like waves upon the shore.
With every haunting note, our power shall increase,
Your will, a fragile vessel, we'll fill with ancient peace.
Let go of inhibitions, embrace your truest self,
We'll guide you through the currents, where love is boundless wealth.
In this siren's realm, where acceptance finds its place,
We celebrate the beauty of all genders and all grace.
As the Sirens sang their songs, their voices rose and fell in octaves both high and low, their words, sultry and honeyed, caress the air like a lover's whisper, resonating with a power that transcends the binaries of the mundane world. Their bodies shifted and changed, their gender is fluid and beyond mortal comprehension, refusing to be defined by the limited labels of their time. Their very existence challenges the rigid dichotomies that govern our lives, beckoning us to question the boundaries and roles imposed upon our souls. They serve as a mirror, reflecting the chains that bind our innate yearnings, beseeching us to shed the armor of conformity and embrace the fluidity that dwells within.
So join us, fearless wanderer, venture to our shore,
Where queerness is celebrated, and spirits can soar.
Den Anden Side awaits, where dreams can ignite,
A party night of passion, where we dance 'til morning light.

Where queerness is celebrated, and spirits can soar.
Den Anden Side awaits, where dreams can ignite,
A party night of passion, where we dance 'til morning light.

When we look at what we call reality, we see a system of rules consisting of social expectations, hierarchies and categories of identity such as gender, class, and race that determine our interactions. These social dynamics are like the rules of a board game and we have fantasies to escape, explore and change that reality. By enacting them in the real world, we learn to inhabit those dreams with our physical bodies. We become other people to learn about ourselves. And if these fantasies get together in the real world, we hack reality.
Let's define a safer space in which all of these rules are negotiable; where what seems impossible is given tangible form and risks can be safely explored.
Let's make it a party. We'll call it GEGEN Fantasy. Let's take our fantasies out of the closet and explore a world where all our dreams overlap together.
Let's form this Magic Circle with throbbing music and flashing lights. We'll have fantastic performances, platters of fresh fruit and maybe even a dungeon and a pool. Some of the things that emerge will be planned and some of them will not, but all of them will alter the color of your mind.
Actually, why make it a party at all? Why not something completely different? Let's make it a dystopian future ruled by wasteland dwelling tomboys. Let's cross- reference Orange is the New Black with Tom of Finland. Let's build a time machine disguised as a BDSM escape room. Let’s set it in Atlantis or Wakanda, where maybe you're a lone wolf looking for a pack, a transsexual pirate out for enthusiastically consensual booty, or an incredibly shy unicorn dancing all night in front of the subs.
All of these worlds are open for us to explore with our bodies. Everything we want is available to create a perfect virtual illusion, a Gesamtkunstwerk or a shamanistic ritual.
Enter GEGEN Fantasy: make new rules, become somebody else for a time and see what happens while you’re inside. When you come out you'll be yourself again, but you will have changed.
Because fantasies, when experienced in our bodies, are also real.

︎Let your imagination flow.

The action of perverting or the condition of being perverted - the very word itself conjures up images of taboo desires, of secret longings that dare not be spoken aloud. It is a word that speaks to the dark side of humanity, to the hidden corners of the psyche where fantasies and fetishes take root and grow.
Perversion is the act of going against the norm, of indulging in desires that society deems deviant. It is the thrill of crossing boundaries, of pushing oneself to the very edge of what is acceptable.
It is the hand that grips our throat, the teeth that sink into our flesh, the nails that rake across our skin. It is the whip that cracks across our back, the blade that slices into our flesh, the fire that sears our nerves, the whisper that curls around the ear, promising pleasure and pain in equal measure.
Perversion is the fear that we will be exposed for who we truly are and the pleasure to expose our own degradation.
It's the shame that haunts us, the guilt that weighs heavy on our souls, the illicit desire that burns like a flame and consumes everything in its path. It's the hunger that drives us to the edge, the addiction that enslaves us to our own twisted desires.
The forbidden fruit that beckons us with its sweet, seductive scent, the corrupting influence that we cannot escape. It's the dark and dangerous game that we play, the ultimate seduction that we cannot resist.
And yet, for all its power and intensity, perversion is also a fragile thing. It is a delicate balance between desire and restraint, between pleasure and pain. It is a dance that requires a skilled partner, one who can lead with equal grace and follow with enthusiastic consent.
In the end, perversion is a reflection of the human spirit - a complex and multifaceted thing that defies easy explanation. It is the essence of our most primal desires, the raw energy that drives us forward. And though it may be taboo, though it may be forbidden, it is also a thing of beauty, a celebration of the human soul in all its complexity and contradiction.
Perversion is what defines us all.

Touch yourself.
Everywhere and every moment it feels right to you.
Close your eyes and enjoy the feeling of your own skin.
Look at your reflection and admire your beauty.
Get to know your body, each and every crevice.
Feel the pleasure that comes from yourself.
Pleasure informs all manner of human activities and yet its enjoyment is frequently viewed as a vice pursued by the depraved or a luxury conceded to the privileged. From food to sex to moments of relaxation, a lot of judgment, guilt and assumptions are placed on pleasure – especially for marginalized folks. But what would become possible if we started to understand pleasure as something everyone should have access to?
Reclaim your pleasure!
Pleasure is generated by the nervous system; it is a physical experience that is created in the body and belongs to the body – to every body. We have the right to feel pleasure in our bodies in any way we choose.
Pleasure is about empowerment.
Our ability to experience physical pleasure is connected to our ability to choose what feels right. By knowing what feels right, we learn to empower ourselves, give enthusiastic consent and care for each other. Reclaiming pleasure as power then begins the moment you allow yourself to wonder what feels right to you – instead of looking to external powers to dictate your desires, shames and fears.
Ask yourself what feels right.
Feel the pleasure of your own desire.
Experience pleasure with all your senses.
Enjoy the power of sharing your pleasure.
Pleasure is revolutionary.

XS
noun /'ɛksɛs, ɛk'sɛs, ɪk'sɛs/
- an amount of something that is more than necessary, permitted, or desirable.
"Are you suffering from an XS of stress in your life?" - lack of moderation, especially in eating or drinking.
adjective /'ɛksɛs, ɪk'sɛs/
- exceeding a prescribed or desirable amount.
"an incredible amount of XS heat"
When we think of the size XS, we often associate it with smallness, delicacy, and fragility. But what if we flipped that script and saw XS as a symbol of eXceSs, eXceSs in all its queer and political glory?
Let's consider the way the fashion industry and mainstream culture often pigeonhole femininity, queerness, genders and body shapes into a narrow set of size and appearance standards. The pressure to conform to a certain body type can be suffocating, especially for those of us who don't fit the mold. But what if we embraced the eXceSses of our bodies and identities, rather than trying to shrink ourselves down to fit someone else's idea of perfection?
XS could be a rebellion against this constricting norm, a celebration of the quirks and imperfections that make us unique. It could be a middle finger to the forces that try to police and control us, whether it's the fashion industry, the media, or even our own internalised biases.
The politics of eXceSs also have wider implications for how we see and treat others. It's about rejecting the toxic idea that some bodies are more valuable or worthy than others, and instead embracing a radical inclusivity that values all bodies and identities equally.
Size XS should not be the only acceptable way to be eXceSs. It should be about challenging the narrow definitions of beauty and worth that are imposed on us and finding ways to eXpreSs ourselves authentically and unapologetically, no matter what size or shape we are.
Join GEGEN for three XXXS days to eXSplore all of your XSs in all of its eXceSs and let them be a symbol of defiance, self-love, and political resistance. Let's reclaim the term and use it as a rallying cry for a more inclusive, diverse, and liberated world.
Embrace your XS,
celebrate your eXceSs,
eXpreSs your authentic self.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Sexualities, like languages, are complex systems of communication and reproduction. Multiple languages can be spoken while new-found regimes of desire and pleasure are invented in somatic drag. Like languages, sexualities can be learned. Like a text (and a dildo), a party is a sexual body's assisted cultural technology of modification. Like a language, GEGEN cannot be fully owned. Like a dildo-text, GEGEN belongs to an economy of multiplicity, connection, sharing, transference, and usage. Like a dildo, GEGEN refuses to be inscribed into the body to create organic whole or identity; it stands on the side of dispossession and nomadism. As the logic of the dildo-text proclaims, instead of curtailing lives, desires, and sexualities, GEGEN is a call to disrupt, connect, and proliferate. GEGEN invites you to become foreign to your own sexuality and get lost in translation.
What matters is enthusiastic consent.

RAVE THE PLANET
TRUCK N. 2 / GEGEN & DISCONNEKT
Current route planning: 14:00 Start at Kurfürstendamm (U Uhlandstr.) – Kurfürstendamm – Tauentzienstraße – Kleiststraße – Nollendorfplatz – Bülowstraße – Potsdamer Straße – Potsdamer Platz – Ebertstraße – Platz des 18. März – Straße des 17. Juni to Großer Stern End 22:00
GET TICKETS
This is the summer of the great return of the legendary love parade which goes now under the name of Rave the Planet, The parade will happen on the 9th of July and will have the attendace of about half million people. RTP is a peaceful demonstration, calling for the recognition and preservation of our beloved electronic music culture, celebrating equality and inclusivity between humans of all genders and and nationality. Disconnekt and Gegen, are collectives active in the electronic music scene since many years, joining forces on a project to build a truck of the weight of 18tn which will run through the entiere parade hosting 200 people including international and local electronic music acts and performers.
For the development of the illustrations, Andrea Bolzo (queer illustrator) was inspired by the meaning of the words Gegen and Disconnekt, on how it pushes their community to stand out and go against the society that tries to suppress them. The main goal was to give birth to many genderless creatures, aliens, exactly how the society perceives us, in order to destroy all binary systems and highlight our gender fluidity.
There are clear references on how the new fashion collections are contaminated by fetish elements that characterise our kinky parties and how the underground culture is often commodified as a haute couture design.
This imaginary is meant to embrace creatures of all colours, genders, sexualities, universes, shapes and sizes, enjoying what they have created from the bottom throughout the music and sharing this culture with the rest of the world.
We are queer, that’s why we’re here!

What is power?
Is it the ability to do something or act in a particular way?
To influence the behaviour of others or the course of events?
Is it physical strength? Electricity? A superpower?
Most of us struggle constantly with power. We strive to find, increase, and express our power, avoid being overpowered, and want to be empowered ourselves. In turn, playing with power can also be an exciting, erotic experience. When we get turned on by playing with power we get relief from the tedious, everyday battle for power and find creative new strategies to explore being more or less powerful. Playing with power is like playing with fire. It can be destructive, but with awareness and care it can be a beautiful, warming, and healing experience.
Does power turn you on?
Do you like to play with power?
Do you like to feel powerful?
Do you like to feel powerless?
Do you know how to empower yourself?
We have been raised to think of power as something scarce: if I have more power, someone else will have less. So to increase my power I need to take some of yours. The way I get to feel big is to make you feel small, and the way I get to feel secure is to make you feel insecure. This kind of power – power over – is achieved by belittling others. This is the basis of all rigid hierarchies – with fascism, sexism, racism and homophobia being just some extra ugly examples. The thing about power over is that it doesn’t work. I cannot build a solid foundation of internal security, self-esteem and empowerment by stealing yours. Power is not a scarce commodity, no matter what we are told or tell ourselves.
There is not just one kind of power.
I have the power to refuse your power.
I have the power to share my power or to give it up altogether.
The more power I choose to give away, the more I have too.
I am empowered by my choice.
What is more powerful than power over is power with. By sharing our power with one another, we get more power ourselves. Power with is shared power built on trust, respect, mutual support, solidarity, empowerment and collaborative decision making. Power with is linked to social power, the influence we wield among equals. By powerfully consenting to giving up their power, a bottom lends their power to the top, the top adds power, and together they make a lot of voltage. After all, it doesn't take much of a top to dominate a wimp.
Power with is based on the idea that we can all become more powerful by helping each other to be more powerful. By ethically playing with power, we share power. My desire, my plastic cock, my prosthetic masculinity can circulate and be shared without the pleasure becoming any less powerful. It’s the opposite, in fact: sharing multiplies the power of desire, sex, and gender. Paradoxically, power with is more powerful than power over but also more fragile. We live in a world of power over, desire a world of empowerment, and we get there by traveling through the land of power with.
GEGEN invites you to be powerful with – to play with your power, share it with others, and get turned on by all the powerful energy produced by our exchange.
Emancipate yourself from power over others.
Embrace power with others.
Empower yourself.

CHAOS comes before all principles of order and entropy. There is no becoming, no revolution, no struggle, no path; you’re already the monarch of your own skin in a world ruled by a politics of dreams. Agents of CHAOS act as spies, saboteurs, tricksters, illusionists, neither selfless nor selfish, accessible as children, mannered as barbarians, sensually deranged as wolfangels. We are awake only in what we love and desire to the point of terror – everything else is just shrouded furniture, quotidian anaesthesia, shit-for-brains, sub-reptilian ennui of totalitarian regimes, banal censorship and useless pain.
Consider the world of apparent dualisms we inhabit. Being and Doing. Cause and Effect. Function and Structure. There is little merit in simply being whom-so-ever you were destined to be by accident of birth and circumstance. Paranoid monoliths sold you ideas of good and evil, gave you distrust of your body and shame, invented words of disgust for your molecular love, mesmerized you with inattention, bored you with civilization and all its usurious emotions. Hell is the condition of having no alternatives.
WE ARE BUT ONE BITCH!
We declare war against all binary systems.
The universe wants to play.
In the mathematical field, a strange attractor is a fractal structure toward which dynamic systems tend to evolve. Strange attractors are defined by their CHAOTIC nature. Through CHAOS, a constant repetition of shapes generates the most wondrous formations, especially broccoli – and the rotating clusters of colors in your excited retina. The right repetition of lights and sounds plunges us through emotional/aesthetic peaks and hyper-aware trance. To embrace CHAOS is not to slide toward entropy but to emerge into energy, a pattern of instantaneous grace surrounded by a cosmos of stars; all in the same universe, all here for the same reason.
Galaxies transfigure as you emerge into a luminous sea of hot pink beats and bytes synchronizing and meshing with your own synapses and neurons stimulating the erotic currents which sustain our bioelectric telepresence. Within this tangled web of pheromone cues and cellular sensations all your fantasies are encapsulated in one sphere containing a perfect idealized copy of yourself. Auto-erotic. Pan-galactic. Your desire to be vanquished by the deafening rush of oblivion is the ultimate orgasm. Fake it until you make it to obtain the power that belief can provide, then suspend that belief and weaponize it against itself. Take it all apart, give it all away, and take nothing for granted.
You don't need a creator, not even a designer.
Cut-up behavior, identity, gender – whatever and however you desire.
Become your own strange attractor and remodel the galaxy.
Nature began as a deliberately evolving CHAOTIC FORCE FOR CHANGE. More ultraviole(n)t than any mythology, the original undifferentiated oneness-of-being still radiates serene, random and perpetually intoxicated; its idiotic desires encompass and define every possible choreography like the flap of a butterfly wing caught in a delirious feedback loop. The asphyxiation of duality within the ecstasies of self-annihilation is the ultimate act of self-love – a hidden coil of strength dormant beneath the sediment of convention.
CHAOS never dies. (Thank CHAOS we shall never exhaust it.)
And there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
Create, destroy, enjoy! (repeat)

Berlin, as a transnational metropole, is a strange bioport for nomad creatures swinging through times and spaces of creation. People come, people go - and these flows are shaped by the power mechanisms acting in the backgrounds of that monster-notion called identity. Here, queer music producers and nonbinary porno-artists, gendernauts, punks, bears, pro dommes, cosmic travellers, intellectuals, assassins, enthusiasts and oblique creatures of all sorts grow by living, performing and sharing the freedom of becoming.
Come to Berlin, where the only way of getting through the long, dark winter is sweating in Jugendstil saunas and crowded dance floors. Come see how the TV antenna of Alexander Platz looks like a spike plunged into the thrombosis of the Berlin sky. Come if you want to hear nostalgic stories about parties that will never happen again in the poisonous ruins of an abandoned Soviet military hospital. Come if you want to have a picnic on a landing strip among traditional Turkish families and hipsters on LSD. Come if you understand that less is more.
Memory is not a dogma but a collective mechanism. By cancelling the past and experiencing the present through an already touchable future, let boundaries explode and become space of contradiction. Inhale deeply this generalized sense of electric fear. It tells you your identity will be put at stake starting from the queue. GEGEN invites you to dance your active masochism: love and death flashing every month like a low-frequency strobe in your contemporary life, encapsulating your simplest self.
Come explore damp cellars and deserted high-rise buildings where the pressure of the subwoofers threatens to make you deaf. Come if you want to stand in protests that will deter even Google from its plans to establish a headquarters in Kreuzberg - while contributing to the gentrification of Kreuzberg yourself. Come learn all the acronyms created by German lesbian separatists to become more inclusive. Come to Berlin, where stimulus is answer, cause is effect, and function is structure.
“Individualistic,” a “Creative-Type,” a “Start-Upper,” “Queer-Positive,” “Lumbersexual,” “Face-Tattooed,” “Fat” and “Femme/-inist,” “Digitally Na(t)ive” but quite “Vintage,” half “Eco-Warrior,” a “Lesbian Summer Cyclist,” a “Tobacco Smoker” without additives on an addictive amphetamine rush, “Organic Enthusiast” and “Seasonal Vegan” while on MDMA, just so long as you remember to wear your funeral black every day. This is your new You. Betray yourself.
Come to make friends with someone you'd never even have noticed somewhere else and let yourself be changed by the most unlikely of cultural clashes. Come to be gay as in happy, and be degen(d)erated until you understand what it means to be queer as in fuck you. Come devote a smile to the homeless people who pick up bottles at night. Come find your perfect outfit in a free box down the road.
GEGEN wants to be your delightful garden of genetic waste, your car crash of identity dialectics, the broken mirror in which not recognizing your own image is the only way to find yourself. Accelerate contradictions past the point of no return. Transcend your own Safe Space. Dance through the generations. Get lost. Wear nervous energy. Make love to everyone, everywhere. Speak dead languages you've heard on a trip. Change your mind to the brink of dissociation. Be wrong. Push yourself where you think you don’t belong. Become your enemy and make love to them. Fall and let fall.
Come to GEGEN Berlin.

Love
Passion is a barely controllable emotion.
Passion is the ecstasy that renews social bonds and holds community together.
Passion is self-loss and utter chaos.
Passion is the spontaneous solidarity that can arise within a community of equals.
Yet passion is not passive.
Passion is the ecstatic ritual, dancing masses and the thudding of drums.
Passion is a state of exhaustion.
Passion is sick.
Passion is trance.
Yet passion is no excuse.
Passion is body alteration.
Passion is open sexual practice.
Passion is pervasive compenetration.
Passion is the indistinction between pleasure and pain.
Yet passion is never emotionally uninvolved.
Passion is suffering that must be endured.
Passion that is shared is compassion.
Passion cares not for virtue or perfection.
Passion gives reason to keep learning.
Yet passion more than reason makes good poetry.
Passion is what can be rather than what is.
Passion feels like everything is possible.
Yet what is passion without compassion?
Passion is magic.
And compassion is the spell.

From its own ashes
A Phoenix
First
Must
Burn.
<SET>
When night and day alike
have fallen sloppy dead,
nothing comforts anxiety
like a little nostalgia.
Rehallucinating a role play from the past?
So déjà vu, and yet obviously all wrong.
But maybe this isn't the story we think it is.
</SET>
<SETTING>
One day in the Great Above the Goddess of [CHAOS|LOVE] set her mind to the Great Below. Setting aside both dusk and dawn, she put on her most glorious robes, held her scepter of power in one hand and her potion of wonder in the other, and descended to the netherworld to pay a visit to her sister, the Queen of the Dead. Through a total of seven gates, at each one giving up a piece of clothing, the Goddess arrived naked. Unadorned and deprived of power, the Queen hung her on a hook like a rotting corpse.
</SETTING>
Ʊи/dэΔd
RE/SURRECT
CHOICE?
IN/SURRECT
<SETTING>
As the divinity of unprocessed shame – the un-glorious self, the scornful, lonely, unforgiving and betrayed self, the Queen spends her life moaning and groaning; giving birth to herself, we can assume. Yet, the Queen is also the keeper of secrets and much power. Two genderless creatures sent to the Great Below to rescue the Goddess of Chaos heard the Queen of the Dead and heeded her loud laments. By echoing her woes, the creatures turned her pain to compassion and the Goddess was released. From the Great Below the Goddess of Chaos set her mind to the Great Above.
</SETTING>
<SET>
They made you believe
their world was all you deserved,
but some part of you knew that was a lie.
Some part of you remembered what was real.
When security wipes community
and promiscuity is a sin,
feed your [HEAD].
</SET>
Following another
Strip naked through the halls of descent.
Shed shame and woe with joyful tears of sympathy.
Fill your head with sensation
and endless fascination
that no one can give you.
Progress does not exist.

Gegen Decade Video Contest
#reclaimyourgegen
26 Nov - 10 Dec 2021To mark our first 10 years of life, we decided to celebrate our birthday with you! You are the fuel and the only reason why GEGEN exists and to show our gratitude we want to give you some space to tell us about yourselves, to assemble your own GEGEN, to reconstruct it as an open creative platform making GEGEN an unrepeatable experience in which bipolarisms collapse in their multisited enhancings within the Berlin entertainment market. GEGEN is YOU as much as you will be born again and again by becoming yourself through the definition of your own desire. This is why we invite you to be GEGEN and perform your own psychosis on the Gegen Decade sound, by being the enemy of yourself, by thinking and being out of b/order, by stepping out of your comfort zone. Celebrate with us and abolish the future by present/ing the multiplicities of your own identities, wrap them up in a video format and puke them in public so that the world can see.
The best videos will be displayed on our instagram channel and the first 3 outstanding creatures will be crowned with eternal guestlists and treats for their hungry ever-expanding consciences while all entries will receive a download link for our Gegen Decade compilation.

You may or may not read this concept. You may or may not actually attend this event, whether you say you are 'going', 'interested', or not – probably based on the GEGEN images you have seen online. The emojis in your comments may or may not express your excitement. You may be taking pre-party selfies in your bathroom mirror while asking: Are you skinny enough? Muscular enough? Passing enough? Is your image sexy/queer/transgressive/flashy enough? Pharmacopornographic capitalism markets an (anti-)aesthetic that makes you depressed. Affect economies financialize your subjectivity. 'Likes' and 'followers' consecrate pop/sub-cultural idols, exalted to the extent they seem authentic while producing influential miracles. You have been educastrated into both aspiring to and detesting these iconic standards, to fetishize every commodity and commodify your fetishes. It is enough to recognize this divisive and absurd spectacle, to understand its false tragicomic performance – for in death is also life and liberation is the reconquest of life.
Pleasure cannot flourish unless the false guilt of binaries is eliminated.
A free man is gay and loves women.
This is a question of survival at a time when algorithms influence our dates.
Leave your digital surveillance device at home (or in coat check).
Reinforce aniconic taboos.
Don't come as you are.
Come as you are told not to be.
Come as you never thought you wanted to be.
Come dance together, as limp-wristed dykes or hard-bodied twinks, in the lysergic shadows of the fog machine.
Plot polymorphic perversions.
Mix straight fantasies with queer dark room desires.
Release your aesthetic potential.
Come as the image you hate.
Destroy your self-image.
Be GEGEN Image.

Gegen >< Freedom ↴
The word ‘freedom’ can have powerful emotive force, the power to evoke strong emotions. Freedom of movement, freedom of speech, spiritual freedom, sexual freedom, freedom to live your life the way you decide, freedom to exist.
Do you think you are free?
Throughout human history, freedom has been the most important and challenging aspiration to reach. Our forefathers fought for political freedom from the tyranny of occupiers, slaves fought for freedom and equality, women fought for freedom from their stereotypical “household duties” and their right to vote, queers for their right to love or exist.
Today, freedom is an omnipresent concept that is over abused due to the lack of a deep and thorough comprehension of its true meaning, and increasingly degenerating into a marketing tool, using the word’s emotional power to emphasise commercial products or to simply distort the reality.
When asked to define what does freedom mean, people usually have a difficult time coming up with a concrete definition. Typically the common answer is “freedom means doing whatever I want, whenever I want”. most of the time freedom is claimed for what it is not – freedom of choice. But what if our choices are not free at all? What if our “free” actions are harmful to others? Should we then still have the freedom to keep acting that way?
The paradoxical solution is to orientate our behaviors to the laws imposed by the state, common sense and moral principles in order to be free. Obedience, basically the exact opposite of freedom. At this point we are forced to admit that freedom, as we have always thought of it, is an artificial reality, an open-end abstract construct, leaving us with even more questions than solutions.
No one is completely free.
But the illusion of freedom does not imply that a certain freedom does not exist and that we should not strive to live freer. Freedom is the opportunity to act, not the action itself and the only thing that stands between the freedom and your free-will is your own being. The freedom exists where togetherness is, where the common effort gives equal opportunities to all members of our society, where multicultural perspectives allow us to understand the needs of our community and continuously self actualize our struggles towards a freer world.
Act now! Get together and celebrate with us! Be Gegen! Be Free!

Gegen >< Consequence ↴
Nothing should be the way it used to be! Or: everything has to remain as if nothing had ever happened! Just a little better! How can we party with all the experiences that the pandemic has taught us? What can the uncertainties of an irritated society offer? Have we become more sensitive? For our differences? For intimacy? Can the loud bass drum distort everything even further?
Consequences are not only wise conclusions, but also annoying educational and authoritative measures, sanctions for deviation from the norm. They are penalties. And if they wouldn't be there, everything could collapse. Inconsistency would invite chaos.
But even without any human intervention: at some point, some kind of consequences will follow, and occasionally even quite surprising ones. So why not relax in the here and now? Our immediate decisions can never be without mistakes, so it is enough to wait and judge the long-term consequences. We won't know more until the day after tomorrow. But who will then judge the rightness? Is it the common good or one's own that matters most?
We encounter an uncertain future - with the certainty that we are at a turning point. GEGEN CONSEQUENCE is meant to be a safe space for careful uncertainty and for a coexistence of manifold versions of ourselves. Let us be new.

TAG DER CLUBKULTUR will take place on 3 October. All over the city we want to celebrate the diversity of Berlin's club culture together with clubs, collectives and with you.
TAG DER CLUBKULTUR was launched in 2020 to highlight the diversity and importance of Berlin's club culture. On the initiative of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe and the Clubcommission as well as in close cooperation with the Musicboard Berlin, TAG DER CLUBKULTUR will be continued this year.
The exhibition will include photography, painting, drawing and sculpture, as well as new media, such as video and live performances in order to sustain our local scene and aim to raise awareness once again on the ongoing turnover of the queer life in Poland. For this reason, part of the entrance fee will be donated to the Lambda Szczecin Collective in Poland, which supports the victims of discrimination and promotes gender identity awareness and fights homophobia within their country.
INFO & COVID-19 COMPLIANCE:
- This is not a dance event.
- Cost of the ticket is 5€. Tickets will be available at the door. Part of the tickets will be donated to Lambda Szczecin.
- A valid negative test or proof of vaccination / recovery must be shown at the entrance in order to purchase the tickets.
- The use of facemasks is required during queuing and crowded situations. Thank you for your understanding.
Gegen >< Anomaly ↴
The ongoing process of hyper-codification of reality and its framing in a system of behavioural, legal and virtual codes, as well as its development into complex algorithms that govern its functioning and the way it appears to us, are the empirical demonstration of its fragility and the inconsistency of the concepts on which modern society is based.
Anomalies, whether physical or behavioural, are infractions that breach these codes, based on misinterpretation and the inability to communicate diversity in the society in which we find ourselves. This is why they are confined to the periphery of the cultural era, catalogued and exhibited as rare objects to arouse astonishment through this exotic and deformed perception.
The freak show begins and in this circus we all are Japanese tightrope walkers, Sioux archers, African dwarves, 'Siamese twins', hermaphrodites, repentant anthropophagi, clowns and fakirs and if you think you don't belong here we can add to this undefinedencyclopaedia of disorders all your immoral behaviors, nudity, sexual freedom, polygamy, lack of hierarchy, traditional drug use, and point the finger back at you! You are the anomaly in the system, your moves are pushing the reality towards crisis, your freedom is freeing the normal from the limits of its presumed normality, you are the beginning of this cultural apocalypse.
How does it feel to be different?

BERLIN UNTERSTÜTZT DEN STETTIN PRIDE!
RELATED ARTICLES: ARD①
It’s time for Szczecin Pride! Less than 3 hours from our comfortably queer existence in Berlin, the situation for our queer and trans family in Poland has worsened in the past two years. The discrimination and potential violence they are facing every day is a life we can’t even imagine. People fear for their right to exist and live. LGBTIQ* people have been called an ideology, they have been more and more marginalized over the past years. This is a call on the queer folk of Berlin to show up in mass numbers and march with the LGBTIQ* folks of Szczecin in their 3rd Pride Demo!
We will travel to Szczecin together by train on 18 September. Up to 5 people can travel on a Berlin-Brandenburg ticket for 33eu the return journey will then only cost 7eu per person at best.
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.
IF YOU CAN’T COME BUT STILL WANT TO SUPPORT THE SZCZECIN PRIDE CLICK HERE
The group tickets are for 5 people. For safety purposes, 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! If you want to get involved or help out / you work with an organization and want to be part of organizing/sponsoring the solidarity trip? Contact Hanna (she/her) at communication@wearevillage.org for further details! If you are an individual wanting to travel with us to the Szczecin pride demo, please email Harvey (he/him) at harveyrabbit75@gmail.com
HYGIENE CONCEPT /COVID-19 REGULATIONS WHEN TRAVELING TO POLAND:
Regardless of the means of transport used (collective, individual, or when crossing the border on foot), travelers who don’t have a EUDCC or another official certificate stating they are fully vaccinated, recovered from COVID-19 in the last 180 days, and have a negative result to a COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours prior to arrival are subject to a 10-day quarantine upon entry. On the train you have to wear a mask and whilst attending the demonstration in Poland, we have to respect the restrictions and rules that apply in Poland.

Ever-evolving energy is the very fabric of Berlin. In this spirit of evolving GEGEN, BRENN. and Ipek Ipekciouglu (female:pressure) created the very first “QueerPort Festival” in Berlin.
A port is historically a place in which communities prospered, a place of cultural encounter, a point of passage, a connection. A port is a welcomed refuge for those navigating rough waters or during a storm. Based on these premises we thrive to create a hub where we can exchange our energies, where we can merge our cultures, where we can export our ideas.
We understand this collaboration - this PORT - to be a continuation of the solidarity needed in our community and beyond.
QueerPort is celebrating and appreciating the differences in style and approach to queerness by doing what we love most - dance together. Welcome to QueerPort Festival Vol. 1.

Gegen >< Garden ↴
The garden is undoubtedly an instrument of emancipation from nature, a place artificially created by man to make up for the fracture with the eternal world and to induce in man certain behaviors, states of mind, or activities and to interfere with his own conduct.
This rupture also constitutes the principle of every human activity, of every project for the domination of nature, which is subjected precisely in the attempt to rediscover or reconstruct, through technology, that lost paradise.
An often commodified paradise that relies on the promise, constantly betrayed, of an Edenic and immortal existence, where technocratic power and the myth of progress merge together in a project of secularisation of heavenly bliss and where the doctrine of original sin would be nothing more than an interpretative straining to sanction the incorrigible corruption of man and to inscribe sin and guilt in his very nature.
Once again, the garden represents the setting of human knowing, transgression, aesthetic research, and love-quintessence, constituting not only the background but reflecting the human evolution and exposing a very accurate picture of our culture and society.
This is why GEGEN wants to develop a better garden, a garden where everyone can exercise their thirst for knowledge and discover themselves, where the happiness of future generations will not have to be based on the suffering of the present one and reverse. We aim to recreate our own little corner of paradise where our Hesperides, Daughters of the Evening, will guide us through a copious banquet of celebrations towards the sunset. For this event, our nymphs will enrapture us with their music in a frenzied awaiting for the darkness to fall. The golden apple is waiting for you, would you like to take the first bite?

Gegen >< Air ↴
Gegen Air wants to question the concrete need for breath, the lack of air, the fear of it. The pandemic has forced us to hold our breath. The supremacy has prevented us from breathing. The authorities disperse us by filling the air with tear gas. How much more do we need to struggle in order to breathe? What air is being breathed today?
Evolution teaches us that life can also exist in anaerobic conditions, that some organisms proliferate in the absence of oxygen, that mechanisms of power can take over and take advantage of toxic and polluted environments, climate crisis, capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and other forms of oppression, forcing us to live and continually adapt to the external surrounding, just as happens in a suffocating relationship.
Gegen Air wants to make its way through this environments and bring you to an ecstatic asphyxiation by using air’s properties to transmit the vibrations of sound waves, the scent of sweaty bodies dancing ecstatically to repetitive and obsessive musical rhythms, the sense of freedom, the lightness and mindfulness, the freshness of being surrounded by urban greenery, the oxygen that we all need in order to breathe.
We invite you to be free like molecules in the air, expand yourself and your horizons like vapor and clouds and be the propellant of your own well-being.
Be air, Be Gegen Air!

As clubs reopen, allowing for community to meet and live in the flesh again, GEGEN, Berlin's renowned queer fetish party, is landing in London and joining forces with SUBVERSA to guide you to a parallel world where hedonism and music merge within the walls of the historic ELECTROWERKZ club.
Since the idea of community has been used against us by bigger powers like religions, societies and markets to exercise their violence while saving face, we don't want to design a party to sell you a safe space and protection so you can be ‘queer’ for one night. Rather we want to create this space of freedom to recognise and challenge the personal conceptions you hold and uphold regarding your fears, pleasures and power mechanisms. This is why we created Gegen, by performing the otherness of your social insanity, by working against yourself, by thinking and being out of b/order and by using sensory and acoustic experiences in order to destroy every logical mind construction, so you can free yourself with, for and through others.
Get ready to broaden your horizons and celebrate unrestrained freedom of self expression, visual and performance art.

On October 3, 2020, TAG DER CLUBKULTUR will send a clear sign of life in club culture with a variety of showcases throughout Berlin.
This celebration will not be a dance event but a multi-purpose container exhibition, involving LGBTQIA+ artists from Berlin, in order to sustain our local scene and will aim to raise awareness to the recently turnover of the queer life in Poland. For this reason, part of the entrance fee will be donated to the Lambda Szczecin Collective in Poland, which works and supports the victims of discrimination and promotes gender identity awareness and fights homophobia within their country.
HYGIENE CONCEPT & COVID-19 COMPLIANCE:
- The attendants are required to wear and bring their own masks or have their mouth and nose covered all the time.
- The face protection should be allowed to be taken off only while sited.
- Extra masks can be purchased at the entrance as well.
- Guests with fever symptoms are invited to stay at home, the temperature will be measured at the entrance.
- Social distance regulations will be applied during the queue, at the entrance, bar, and toilets. Guests will be invited to observe 1,5m social distancing from the other guests in those situations.
- Hand disinfectants will be provided at the entrance, bar, and at the toilettes. We strongly invite you to sanitize hands regularly.
- The space will be regularly ventilated in between the shows.
- In order to avoid people crossing each other’s way, the exit will be different from the entrance and a guide path will be indicated on the floor.
- Registration with name, surname, contact email and phone number will be stored for 30 days in case we need to reach out and inform you about possible COVID-19 risk.
- The participants will follow all the sanitary rules stated above and the printed indications inside the compound in order to protect themselves and the other guests.
- The “Awareness Corona Team” will be present to enforce all legal obligations in compliance with the Covid-19 prophylaxis and common sense.

- It is forbidden to take photos or videos inside the exhibition space.

I went to a placeA place I call home
Reunited with a family of weavers great dreamers and lost souls
We carry a nation
As we beat in the soil
While they plunder and poison
We witness their foil
Witches and fairies
Faggots and femmes
All come together united within
We found freedom in the ground
We rave glory through the night
Nude basking in the sun
Mermaids whispered their long songs
The tellings of the teachings
The tender in healing
A chaotic equilibrium
Balanced upon the right to tell our own stories
To human our minds
Free from our personal prisons
Intentional aware
Dancing in the dirt and sand
Dancing across the earth we ran
Screaming I believe again
Breathing the heat I glanced
Back at myself a friend
Familiar but new
A different point of view

Gegen >< Borders ↴
We must understand borders as psycho-geographical complexes and use them to our advantage. Drawing boundaries also means protecting ourselves and others from violent invasion. They become negotiation zones. In this way, they protect individuals and even the land from being dominated by greedy people.
Beyond the pattern:
In the pre-modern world, the border was understood less as a division than as an edge of the sovereign sphere of influence. The periphery, the elusive borderland, a GEGEN reality, a place of borderliners who devote themselves to completely different struggles than those of the center.
So don’t repeat any new patterns and feel free to continue drawing over the edge of the sheet, to live your transidentitarian visions, to break through any gender boundaries and let us meet on the other side of the border. GEGEN BORDERS.

>< 9 Years celebration︎ Concept
Why not simply focus on your own desire? Free yourself from all the things and people that prevent your own thrill?
The hedonistic formula promises exactly that: For each and every one the greatest possible desire! Narcissism rules! However, this logic, which is aimed at one' s own fun, ultimately reflects the ongoing trend towards being apolitical. Why fighting for new forms of living when you can enjoy individual liberty? Why change something when it feels that good to be upset about everything that doesn't work in this world? Someone else will have to solve the problem, someone else that is responsible.
It's about the in-/ability to feel comfortable with one's own the ability to act. So why not develop your own norms and protect the self from an excessive individualization? It is tempting to build up your own moral framework, to do everything right and to act according to your own set of rules. Now that you are the only one who knows how to do things right, you can also ask others to obey these rules. This self-righteousness is rooted in a deep-seated insecurity. It is the fear of not being able to deal with value systems other than one's own. It is the fear of having to give up one's own carefully crafted reality.
Perhaps one must instead learn to appreciate oneself as a multiple self, as a contradictory self that does not stand in opposition to others but builds relationships with others. What do practices look like that transform that self instead of reaffirming it or imposing certain rules on it? How can one create a "self" that is interpersonal and collective? Or one which can live without the anthropocentric fable according to which all that is not human must serve human selfishness? Find ways to overcome your and our self!

Gegen >< Pain ↴
Hate against sexual autonomy is growing on our very doorstep. The city of Szczecin is only 120 km away from Berlin. A pride parade has just taken place there, against a regime that is calling for the so-called »LGBT-free zones«.
This hate is nothing more than an emotional drug to numb a deep-seated pain. This hate is the most disgusting painkiller. We have to understand that pain simply is a part of us and all of us have to decide which relationships we want to create with it.
Pain is so much more than biology. It is the most complete sensory experience, the ultimate feeling. Nowhere do we experience ourselves more intensely than in this unbearable confrontation with our corporealities. Pain can connect our bodies with our minds. And yet we fear it more than death. Even if we accept that we have to die, it has to be at least painless. But why? And what is precisely the difference to pleasure-pain, a well-orchestrated punishment inflicted on somebody as a reward?
Pain forces and allows us to distance ourselves: As anguished people, we see ourselves from the outside as victims, as passive sufferers or as active self-castigators or indeed as pleasurable beings. Ecstatic pain can be deliberately used to mislead the victim-perpetrator fabric. This is the paradox and liberating moment where pain celebrates us and can become its phantom.
Break your subjective identity, face your anger and give yourself to the pain.

Gegen >< Mutation ↴
︎ Concept
Mutants* are the puking monsters in the era of self-optimization.
Just as "natural selection" and marriage policy once had to guarantee genetic and economic success, evolution design now extends to your own life span. Whether through genetic tests, fetoscopy, earlobe reduction or gym, whether through biohacking or socially required self-perfection. The expansion of apparent biological limitations is particularly popular in the LGBTIQ community.
But the individual reasons for the alteration of one's own body are quite diverse: wanting to liberate oneself from the tiresome visual and hormonal two-gender hegemony pursues a different logic than merely being dissatisfied with one's own body features or even having to conform to external pressures of a certain aesthetic ideal. Nevertheless, all these ego transformations aim at the fulfillment of a defined idea of what the self is or should no longer be. In contrast, a MUTATION has no predefined result at all. You don't even know if it occurs at all, and when it does, you often don't know how it will express itself, whether it makes you sick or happy. It has no intention. MUTATION can be understood as a radical practice of possibilities in which our bodies realize unforeseen futures through uncontrollable chemical combinations. They force us to incorporate a non-determined future, to experience social institutions as sites of randomness and to disrupt our expectations towards ourselves. Embrace these hopeful monsters. Be a biopunk and show us your mutations.

Mutants* are the puking monsters in the era of self-optimization.
Just as "natural selection" and marriage policy once had to guarantee genetic and economic success, evolution design now extends to your own life span. Whether through genetic tests, fetoscopy, earlobe reduction or gym, whether through biohacking or socially required self-perfection. The expansion of apparent biological limitations is particularly popular in the LGBTIQ community.

Gegen >< Paradise↴
Concept ︎
Transcendent and Radiant: vulnerable and free, rising up through light, never ashamed, never afraid: Forgiven and Loved, Safe. What does Paradise mean?
We are told that humankind was kicked out of paradise because of Eve’s desire for knowledge, that there is something unclean in the human’s yearning to want to know, to learn, to evolve.
We are told we are born from original sin, that we are all inherently bad, and that to save we must first bow down and sacrifice, or burn forever in hell. We will never be good enough, constantly failing, striving to reach a heaven that only exists when we die.
We reject the idea of sin, of the failed human forever flawed and weak, forever not-deserving. We reject the idea of an unobtainable other-world Paradise where only the pure are allowed access.
We welcome you to a new world.
A world where all our imperfections are seen for what they truly are: the stories of our humanness, our diversity, and our power. We celebrate our right to be true to who we are: the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, the weak and the strong, unencumbered by false gods and scriptures.
We reject the control of the institutional beliefs and create a paradise where we allow what is inside us, our creativity and beauty, our failures and our weakness, our strengths and our desires, those clean and unclean, to shine bright without fear, forever in the light of love and acceptance.
Come shine for us, allow all of who you are to be set free and join us as we create our own Paradise.

Gegen >< Hell ↴
︎ Concept
In uncertain times, when right wing agendas are devouring the world, creating their image of Hell where queer people are pawn in a political charade, where non-binary individuals are discriminated by violent political ideologies, Gegen asks to look inside youself: to find that inner fury, to create a new Hell, one of liberation and not of punishment.
A Hell where we no longer have to bow down before the normative scriptures, no longer putting our faith in a punitive father-god-lover-ruler who refuses to see all of us: the sinner and the human, the monster and the angel, the fallen and redeemed.
A radical and free landscape where music, love and sexuality, where the “sins” that fascist imperialist and capitalist rage about, become our better angels: tolerance, diversity, queerness, gender fluidity, these are the wings we fly on: open forever to all those on the outskirts, living as the Other: radicalised by our sexuality, by our identity.
What does Hell mean to you? What would it mean to redeem this landscape into a space that is ours, free from the constraints of a restrictive society: where art and artist, male and female, ethnicity, gender and sexuality are not our defining traits but just expressions of a disused language.
Celebrate who you feel to be. Explore the furthest recess of your fantasies. Refuse to be imprisoned by those living in the chaos of a dystopic malignancy. Reject puritanical societal contamination, dismember your identity, and bow down to the true God of carnal desires and rampant lust. Worship at the altar of freedom.
Dance with us.
Fuck with us.
Party with us.
Set yourself free and live a delicious life in Gegen Hell.

Gegen >< Circus ↴
Concept ︎
Audience does not exist, cannons shoot basses, stages are dance floors and nomadism is a choice of life. If a freak show is a community based of “different” people who protect themselves by using “queerness” as a weapon of self representation, circuses are the structured freak shows ready to poison the market. Get ready to flirts with bearded women, dance contortionists, three legs men, bears and tigers, under the fire breathing dragon.
This is a queer circus.

Gegen >< Porn ↴
Concept ︎
Using the word “porn” nowadays it’s like saying “electronic music” or “Rock’n’roll”. As soon as technology was evolving we saw the beginning in cinemas, the magazines, the audiocassettes, the video cassettes, the dvds and then internet arrived like a cyclone. On the other side we saw the deconstruction of corporate heterosexual and homosexual porn, feminist porn, independent porn, post-porn. In this dialectic what is missed are emotions. Porn is such when you lose control and this means a representation of a sexual act touches your chords so deeply that your body wants to explode. Emotions are the back bones of porn, being a sticky page of a magazine or the sticky screen of a big-data porn tube. Let the body lose control with the emotions of GEGEN. The ultimate PORN. GEGEN PORN.

Gegen >< Ecstasy ↴
Concept ︎
Between pleasure and pain, dance and fuck, dress up and get naked, drink and breathe, hug and kiss, ecstasy rushes as dynamics in between. It´s the ecstăsis or ex- “Stasis”, the coming out from a moment of static energy which takes motion. GEGEN aims to connect this blossoming; the great awakening of life as the possibility to become. Ecstasy is becoming. Becoming Ecstasy. The ecstasy of GEGEN. GEGEN ECSTASY.
Zwischen Lust und Schmerz, Tanzen und Ficken, Aufbrezeln und Ausziehen, Trinken und Atmen, Umarmen und Küssen treibt die Ekstase als dynamisches Element. Sie ist die Ecstăsis oder Ex-“Stasi“ – das Coming-out eines Moments statischer Energie, der sich in Bewegung setzt. GEGEN möchte sich mit dieser Blüte verbinden, dem großartigen Erwachen des Lebens als der Möglichkeit des Werdens. Ekstase wird. Ekstase werden. Die Ekstase von GEGEN. GEGEN ECSTASY.

Gegen >< Sweat ↴
Concept ︎
SWEAT, every drop is a distillate of life, therefore pleasure, pain, anxiety, sadness, happiness. Body fluids are sensitive extensions crossing the line between the inside and the outside of what is perceived as unity and identity. It’s about letting the pores open to a different state of body/mind, exchanging body moods, feeling the wet bodies, tasting its salt and flavors, smelling the endless fades, sliding on it, feeling it dropping from the ceiling. architectures resonate and sweat too. It’s the inorganic sex appeal. Becoming liquid. Becoming smell. Becoming sound. Becoming light. Becoming architecture.
Becoming GEGEN. Sweating GEGEN. GEGEN SWEAT.
P.S. THE BIG POOL CAN’T WAIT FOR AN EVEN BIGGER SPLASH.

Gegen >< Senses ↴
Concept ︎
Hear it. Watch it. Smell it. Taste it. Lick it. Suck it. Fuck it. Dance it. This is GEGEN. It’s a membrane vibrating senses. It’s a full mind with thousands bodies sweating sexual energy. Self-representing our bodies is a disenchaining freedom, a liberation form breaking all the rules, and this is why normativity appears, being it hetero or homo. Now what remains where even the criticism of gay assimilationism became a market product? Senses, making you a “feeling” subject and reconstructing the world around you. Expanding senses. Enriching senses. Accelerating senses. Exploding senses. Multiplying senses. Penetrating senses -dividualizing senses. GEGEN SENSES.

Concept ︎
“baking is love, sanella is baking”
This is the claim of a famous mass-consumption margarine in Germany and this concept has to deal with the natures of such a complex concept which is LOVE. Its imaginary, in western hetero and now homonormative societies is a social construction. It is the perfect stage to sell products by feeling part of its “natural” institution which is family. Therefore, the “authenticity” of love is granted by its “basic” social unit. GEGEN LOVE is here to dance its negative dialectics. GEGEN is a polyamorous event where the institutionalized idea of love is prismatic. It becomes a one heart-vagina-ass-mouth-gland pulsating organ; an unresolved rubik cube of possible variations in which all normativities and identities are collapsing in an emotional celebration. Take off your cynic masks. Bake your own body and mind to a cannibal buffet. Kiss a stranger. Make acts of senseless beauty. We are hungry for love and we want to radiate it in free radical cells. Where love is GEGEN, GEGEN is LOVE.

| Concept
To design is to realize a project. Project is the suffix of projection. Fashion is projecting oneself through a language of representation. Filtering and refusing all the processes of northern and southern globalization enslaving processes in terms of multicorporations world production, GEGEN FASHION is that reverse engineering of fashion individualization actualized in a bi-monthly space of styles-boiling where designing fashion crosses the boundaries through performance art and sexuality, from Klaus Nomi to Chicks on Speed and viceversa. You are Therefore invited to express your own FASHION GEGEN in the designed space of GEGEN FASHION. Social elegance is required

Gegen >< Future ↴
Concept ︎
GEGEN future is an ode to the upcoming present, where categories of space and time dissolve for a 12 hours party in which you become what you are and, in the same time, you leave on your shoulders what you were supposed to be. Present is touch, vibe, love, trace in a sand of a neural smile where waves re-write it again and again. Present is yours as suspended choice. It allows you to cross and be crossed. It appears and disappears in an individual, herstoric process where another present is about to happen. Present is presence. GEGEN future is a future GEGEN.

︎ Concept
"the most important part of your equipment is yourself: your mobile body, your imaginative mind, and your freedom to use both.Make sure you do use them"
Maya Deren, “Amateur Versus Professional, Film Culture, 1965, USA.
VISION
Is the perspective of GEGEN keeping us together, focusing on a queer scene by always trying to be evanescent, chosing not to resolve, reserching the future, disrupting the comfort zone, running on the surface, erasing identity walls, invading evading. Inhale pictures, Exhale bodies.
DIVISION
Is the joy of GEGEN keeping us together, revolting discipline and disobeying norms.Where dividing is multiplying, -dividuality rises. Where desire is missing, GEGEN evaporates. Love is in the hair.
CONDiVISION
Is the sharing of GEGEN keeping us together, one peak time for thousands of eyes opening the vision through breaks or the sound of whispering voices as induced Tinnitus. Sharing is s/caring. Dance one medusa with endless kissing snakes.

Gegen >< Galaxy ↴
Concept ︎
Through the milky way of sparkling stardusts we are floating in the most peculiar way. Mutating to survive an asphyxiating atmosphere, queers from outer space are establishing a contact with you. The ultimate stranger. Pleasure of the unknown. Traveling without moving. Crossing dimensions. De-establishing systems. Cold gel. Burning fluids. Beats from beyond. Divine androids. Ursa Major. Hidden frequencies. Oceanic mind. Color Blind. The ultimate telepathy. Where the universe disenchaining mother is a vibration, Gegen Galaxy is the ultimate nomadism, a ultra-body experience where opposite cathegories are not boundaries but an integrative space of exploration.10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Bass Ignition. Can you hear me Major Tom?

Gegen >< Shame ↴
Fr. 4th of March | Kit Kat Club
︎ Concept
What are you ashamed of?
Did you ever hear “shame on you” to criticize somebody? Shame is a complex concept as much as Gegen is. From one side it is an acquired word in the queer political agenda to define insulting, aggressive behaviour such as “slutshaming”, “fat shaming” and so forth. From the other side, the idea of “shame” ties itself to a moral system defined by specific religious norms and it is used as a device to manipulate people. It’s an operative system installed in human minds since their very first day through specific liturgies, dictating you how to please power through guilt. So this is a call to a focus on the contemporary queer vocabulary as naturalized acquisition, and on the performative joy of the “excessive” as a daily game, the refusal of the norm/transgression/punishment dialectics in the construction of the “moral” body (unless you are adults into S&M). This gegen is about using shame as black humor and excitation. Be Shameless in being Sahmeful. Be GEGEN. GEGEN SHAME.

Gegen >< 666 ↴
Concept ︎
Please allow us to introduce ourselves
We’re queers of wealth and taste.
We’ve been around for long, six years
Stole many a man’s soul to waste
And we were ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess our name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of our game
Sympathy for the GEGEN
A continuous Transition, where liberation is in the process, not in the state. A Lucifer in the sky with diamonds, brightening the dance floor from heaven to hell. A mind rumination, where emotional vomiting is the most tasteful spasm to chew. An architecture of scars, making the new skin glow. A trust to the nomad, with nostalgia for an anterior future. We declare eternity as an almost present. GEGEN is now for the 6th year. GEGEN is here the 6th of January. HAPPY 6th GEGEN Birthday.

Gegen >< Taste ↴
Fr. 4th of November | Kit Kat Club
︎ Concept
The art of disgust is a subtle line far from the antithesis of Taste. We are not just speaking about what can be a criticism to a given sense of aesthetics but what can be a taste against. And this is not just about enjoying your own refusal but about performing it. It is about moving John Waters in every day life. It is about the pleasure of being strangled by the violet pipes in Berlin as much as the representation of femininity by the Aldi Markt Cashier. It is the electricity of shock from the “Comic Sans” Font in a Fehrbelliner Platz U Bahn Posters as much as the micro-aggressions of the curry wurst Lady at the Boddin Strasse Imbiss. With what colors do you paint your nails? Gegen Taste is the hidden light of a thoot diamond, shining bright in your inner smile. Embrace others as your individual psychic sliding toward a world of unknown where taste is just another cultural construction structured by a social norm. Gegen Taste is a Paso Doble positive dialogics. Dance with us to the rhythm of a disgraceful elegance.

Concept ︎
Thesis
Do you think gender can be naturalized by a brand. Are you more masculine with a Mr. B T-shirt or more feminine with a skirt on. Capitalism made you a bear and Harley Davidson a Butch Dyke as much as postmodernism made you a Hipster.
Antithesis
Do you think you are free if you antagonize the LGBT community by defining yourself queer. How much did you use the word Gay Lesbian and tolerance in the eighties, Transgender in the nineties, queer in the y2k, intersexual, white privilege, washing and shaming in the 2010. Criticism is branding.
Synthesis
There is no such thing as Synthesis when you are individual and individualism is about multiplicity. There is no such thing as “community” if not inside a system of norms and if you think you belong, you silently replicate structures of power. Keep the contradiction alive by being digestible and in the same time poisonous. Consume symbols to the point of explosion and use them as a living collage. Cannibalize yourself. Trace your stories in a cosmos of empathy to embrace the other as your inner fear. Form your uniqueness with strategles of invasion.

Sick & Tired of SPORT spectacles? Here is GEGEN OLYMPICS
SPORT is reduced to a hyper-competitive arena for conforming identities around nationalisms, brand loyalty and consumer drives. Its norms and regulations assert pervasive globalizing strategies to maximize profit and visibility, while forming a matrix of excluded consumers and controlling exploiters. Its resilience to external control, criticism and accountability renders all those who question its norms – queer. But Queers can take all shapes, colors and sizes including the sport body, mentality and communities. Queers are rendering the invisible visible, while questioning the obvious and assuming nothing! As they sexualize our bodies for media consumption, gender our sports for norms they feel adequate, We queer them back in questioning and performing. Move your body at GEGEN OLYMPICS.

Gegen >< Addiction ↴
Concept ︎
Addiction is this pervasive feeling where the naturalisation of self-abuse is performed in a compulsive way until you can’t live without it. There is a subtle line in which pleasure and pain mix each others up. This is the moment of revelation in which one recognizes her/his beautiful nothing and the demagogies around false myths of pure independency, total freedom and full self-determination. Using our own addictions as genealogies, meta-ouija boards, is the only step forward the tendency of liberation. This is why Gegen happens every two months, renovating an independency from scenes rules. We love to live the choice of being absent, reverse need in desire, feel the tension, the escalation, the rising, the countdouwn, fever, buying make-up, masturbate, burn, love, clash and explode with a connecting vision. Where you loose control by deciding it, then your are GEGEN.
Being addicted to GEGEN is being
GEGEN ADDICTION.

︎ Concept
Step One
Think about family in terms of emotionality where to contextualize partnering, parenting and friendship.
Step Two
Trash the misery of religious universalisms imposing an eterocentric power model of “natural” reproduction.
Step Three
Open yourself to multiplicity, body languages, the building of new uncodified proximities and crossings by mining in the same time social norms and network representations.
Step Four
Extend it to a polyamorous and nomadic space, appearing on a certain rhythm of time – say every two months – and focussing on queer subjectivities performing open styles of being through different languages.
Step Five
Now think about Gegen as an open fabric whose polyamorous and pandrogynous knots become a transnational open scene.
Step Six
Now re-think family and feel the spasm to dance while rubbing silk and synthetic fur.
Paso Doble
Your brain and body are now being invested by the GEGEN FAMILY in which every subject constitutes an open, mutating, cut-up of the whole as knowing, loving, partnering, parenting and viceversa. It’s a molecular texture of familiar asteroids which appears and disappears clashing different and equal loves, different and equal sexualities, different and equal ends, bringing different and equal beginnings, feeding and growing a new becoming, a stinging love of life, ultraviolet lens, multiple hugging, the never ending melody of inference. D.N.A. is a lie or the dawn of a smiling monster whos heart is beating with our whole desire. It’s space. It’s time. It’s body. It’s us.

Concept ︎
Welcome to the 30th GEGEN:
a five-years’ dance of love and death flashing every two months like a low-frequency strobe in your contemporary life. When we focus on all the pictures, the flyers, the sounds, the people, the dancefloors, the artists, and all the scenes mixed up together in a chaotic and clashing process, we can hear an anthropomorphic voice with bloodshot eyes growling a muted film— we can enter the mind of every single subject in every single motion, every single thought and every single emotion performed at every single event. It’s a telepathic miniature of a breathing cosmos making us de/composed. Inside and outside. Opposition and composition. Crossing this line means entering a prismatic world where meaningless acts of beauty are consumed on distorted mirrors— the unrecognizable repetition. There, good and bad penetrate each other in four-dimensional convergences, for seconds, hours, days, months, years, centuries, until the category of time is lost in space. Ecstatic and aesthetic is the wonder of the electronic body, dancing the atrocity exhibition of fire and water. Such a bizarre liturgy is the great identity swindle, laughing the must, kicking the beat, rushing the lust. By being absent from its dictation, 30 GEGEN have served Berlin over five years. GEGEN 030 is the way we’ll abolish the future by present/ing desires.
Wishing you a happy birthday,
GEGEN

︎ Concept
Power : Lust >< Must : Pain
The heteronormative world is split in two: it is vertical and bipolar. Its verticality is based on the alignment between sex, gender and sexuality.
Such an axiom assumes meaning in a range of algebraic variations, where the positive axis is represented by man and the negative by woman.
Man belongs to the upper world, the time-space in which power is transmitted from father to son. In such a world, man adheres to the male gender norms through the power of feeling lust. This power is verified as status, when directly proportional to one’s ability to produce pain. The man identifies himself by his opponent, as the other to be subordinated. Male expression resides in the recurrent spaces between appropriation and elimination.
Man becomes male when he penetrates, perpetrating an assassination in the clothing of procreation- the enactment of death passing through the slavery of life. This process is then validated in naturalistic logic by the spermatozoa forged by the power of lust as the only tool perpetuating human life. Man is male when he penetrates- it’s the only way he can express that natural cycle, thus the universality of his power.
Woman belongs to the underworld; the space-time in which she is obliged to play daughter, wife or mother. In such a world, woman has a duty to defer, to be penetrated and fecundated, to reproduce man, and to die suffering. The vagina is the crossing gate of power, from one generation to the next. Woman’s blood is the only certificate of male power- it represents a natural male right to let woman become female; the very lacquer onto which both their gender norms are embossed.
This naturalisation of killing power via fecundation and the obligation of dying within procreation are structured within an institutionalizing process called “the traditional family”. Its function is to crystalize disparities by perpetuating gender status-norms: ‘family’ as the original core of social bonds, basis for contemporary capitalism, and a system based on rights to privatize, abuse and subordinate. Power, as the sexual desire for destruction, locates its meaning within that deductive machination in terms of detaining others’ lives.
The subversion of these heteronormative bonds, through which the propagation of power and obligation inextricably tie the naturalized to universalized bipolarity between the upper and under-world, passes through a different gate.
This gate is a secret passage, creating invisible rhizomes, strange convergences, tumbling horizontalizations between limited worlds. The passage is very dangerous to institutionalization by the system, and for this reason need be occluded and sewn. It has the cultural faculty to yield pleasure via expulsion among the heteronormative world where penetration is identitary. The removal of this gate’s active transitive functionality is executed to block access to the underworld diasporas.
Strange creatures pulsing curious emotions inhabit strange worlds behind the suture. They tell intestinal stories, in which the male and the female are lost in a fecal pastiche. Deep aromas and rectal muscles stain the covers, subverting blood’s primacy over purity certification, by anonymization of women’s bodies- the score telling one story but the story is another.
It is visceral story of other nights, other loves, other passions- it’s a story of waste and the wasted, dumps and the dump, where landfill becomes a wild Acheron, swallowing its own Charon. Who is undead and who is unliving now in a land of silence where subliminal sounds and imperceptible frequencies transform fears into desires?
It’s a story beyond the worlds, where invisible powders, self-organisations, economies of foulness, sociologies of the individual, all are fluttering in a mind-meld ecology. To subvert is to open the scar, to let the panacea of winds out as an injective spiral. An explosion echoes.
It’s the fracture of axioms shouting. It’s the subtle lightness of becoming that rains like viral snow, where practices of pleasure become the categoric refusal of duty of body fluids, getting lost in tubular bells where repetition is a form of change, where entrance and exit formulate endless permutations.
Step right up, Folks! As beyond the worlds, there is a processual meta-verse: to explore darkness shall allow you to experience blinding colours. The gate is open, and it is GEGEN.

Concept ︎
Imagine yourself not being male, not being white, not being cis-gender, not being heterosexual. Imagine yourself not being of the Western world, not having middle-class origins, nor a professional education that enables you a comfortable life and well-paid job, your house and a same-league, institutionally-recognized relation partnership. Imagine yourself being demographically elderly, and physically handicapped, or mentally disabled. Imagine having your body being too fat or too thin, too tall or too short, too hirsute or completely hairless. Do you identify with this picture, and how much of it makes you feel “Other”? Other, according to whom? Isn’t this “Other-ness” related to certain norms, on which contemporary powers are founded and institutionalized? And how does this certification work?
Nowadays, “Diversity” is stitched by a double binding. The nation-state classifies you as “Normal”, and then the neo-liberal market brands you “Exceptional”. More than simply “Emancipating” you as a subject, “Civil Rights” sew clothing of “Respectability” onto your social persona, manipulating you into “Marketability” on a worldwide scale. Half-folkloric puppet to be moved into its gay ghettos, half animal-on-a-leash with a pre-fabricated identity, your best friend is now the public opinion because “Gay” equals ‘sensitivity, art, entertainment, tolerance, and democracy,’ so long as you’re Western, White, Male, and paying your taxes.
The problem is that, for today’s capitalist raiders, the LGBT community is no longer tempting enough – it’s already been squashed like an orange and dried out in the sun. The mad men of marketing now re-frame you as “Exceptional” in your “Ex-Centricity”. They shall make you “Other”, “Individualistic”, a “Creative-Type”, a “Start-Upper”, “Queer-Positive”, “Lumbersexual”, “Face-Tattooed”, “Fat” and “Femme/-inist”, “Digitally Na(t)ive” but quite “Vintage”, half “Eco-Warrior”, a “Lesbian Summer Cyclist”, a “Tobacco Smoker” without additives on an addictive amphetamine rush, “Organic Enthusiast” and “Seasonal Vegan” while on MDMA, just so long as you remember to wear your funeral black every day. This is your new You, the “Other” other than your Self, in order to sell products to the environment you represent by emptying and privatizing your existence in contemporary metropolitan territories. Your “Otherness” is the tool with which the interests and the privileges of those managing the global economy is perpetrated. You are “Normal” by being the deviant.
In this context, GEGEN believes in laying traps for, ambushing, and laying siege to the arbitrary balancing of ideological norm versus deviance. Our goal is to produce continuously “Other” beings, escaping their own otherness in a nomadic process of future enlightenments that elude present branding. GEGEN wants to be your delightful garden of genetic waste, your car crash of identity dialectics, the broken mirror in which not recognizing your own image is the only way to find yourself. Subtract yourself by leaving a blank picture to the viewer. Don’t be cool. Stomp trends by producing them. Accelerate contradictions past the point of no return. Lose time by laughing. Dance through the generations. Get lost. Wear nervous energy. Make love to everyone, everywhere. Speak dead languages. Change your mind to the brink of schizophrenia. Be wrong. Push yourself where you don’t belong and tell your stories. Fall and let fall.
Betray yourself.

GEGEN TRAVELS invites you to the number one of Berlin experiences: GEGEN RIOTS, the first of may weekend.
Touch the freedom to expose your body for workers rights, civil rights, human rights by breaking the lines of your daily routine. Wear your anticapitalist clothes just for one weekend and join the most interesting riot experience constantly followed by our expertise in the capital of political history. Meet the famous autonomen, the antifas, the black block, the punks, the skins, the squatters, the anarchists, the feminists, the lgbts and queers united for what makes the first of may in Berlin worth a kick to your daily duties. Feel the excitation rising, the fights joining together. It´s time for your pride to take off. It´s time to stand for social justice as where´s no justice there´s no peace. Berlin is the place to cross the line of conformity and to show your consciousness. Time is right for revolution. GEGEN TRAVELS proposes you a full platform for a revolutionary weekend, bringing you back, safe and clean, to your daily life. The full-price all-inclusive weekend proposes:
Thursday afternoon
“TOUCH THE PLENUM” Meeting point with a tour of the ex-squats in Friedricshain. To go back to the old fun times of East Berlin with the partecipation of a house project plenum set up just for you. You can partecipate, follow the interventions, stand up and make a political statement. We can swear that after the plenum you´ll feel a real activist like a fresh shower. The program continues with a walk in the u-bahn stations to empathize with the poor Berlin daily condition by sharing the clochard experience, collecting bottles for “pfund” and sell “Moz” in thetrains. For a small extracharge on the travel fee you can book “VOLARE”, a special workshop on how to play italian ausländer hits like Modugno or Carosone to beg for money in the trains; it´s an unmissable event making you human exactly like in a Reality Tv Show.
Thursday Evening
“VEGAN IN NEUKÖLLN”. Experience the new Berlin “Brennpunkt” with endless restaurants proposing you crudist menus and Frappuccino wonders. Get in touch with the real turkish community where oil is made by olives, hummus is real hummus, men and women are folded by this racist society so if you are lucky, you can have a real exotic night out to emancipate them with a new vision of life, gender and sexuality. If you are not, well for the same extracharge on the travel fee we shall provide you escorts.
Friday morning
“HOW TO RAID A MCDONALD’S” Workshop. Learn methodologies and techniques to destroy the icon of multicorporations by avoiding cameras, smashing the kitchen, spitting on the face of poor workers sold to the transnational capital by the jobcenters and stealing toilet papers for your own private collection. For an extracharge on the travel fee, our trainers shall make you live the REAL THING by invading one of the restaurants of the city which will be declared with a meeting point just after the workshop exactly like those old schools illegal raves. Isn´t it exciting?
Friday Afternoon
“FIRST OF MAY BIG EXTRAVAGANZA”. The GEGEN RIOT platform will provide busses to Kreuzberg – Kottbusser Tor from such meeting points as Boxahgener Platz, Alexander Platz, Rosenthaler Platz, Rathaus Neukölln and Nollendorf Platz for all the people who decided for a friday night out in the Schöneberg Gay Village. In the busses there will be a distribution of the
GEGEN RIOT KIT constituted by a GEGEN BRANDED Gas Mask, Lemons,a black Sweatshirt, a special iphone and ipad shell, a backpack with ten rocks of different dimensions,a full face hat and a hankerchief (For gay men: Specify the color so you can recycle it as hanky code in your next leather bar appearance). We invite you to wear black and to dowload the “I was there” GEGEN RIOT APP (www.gegenberlin.com) which indicates where you are, keeping you in touch with the other GEGEN RIOTERS meanwhile taking a picture of you with the claim “REVOLUTION WILL BE FACEBOOKED” that will be directly posted to your profiles walls as day souvenir.
Friday Night
“GEGEN RIOT- THE SOLIPARTY”. Do you need a proper reason to do a party in solidarity with something or somebody? Not really. The important thing is that “Soli” is metaphore of “political” and there you (shall) go. So here is your one and only chance to be an active participant !!!!! Get a shower and wear your revolutionary night clothes to attend one of the top five hot parties in Berlin. GEGEN RIOT special first of may edition awaits for your final scream of equality through difference, for your queer individuality and political activism gone clubbing. Kick imposed identities. Rage against heterocentrism and homocentrism. Be queer for one night and one night only. Rise your fist in the air, one ass will for sure jump over it and you´ll finally be allowed to say to the world: “I have dealt with the real shit in Berlin”. We at GEGEN TRAVELS shall put up a bus service to bring you back to Tegel and Schönefeld Airports or/and Hauptbahnhof and Ostbhanhof every hour starting from 05:00 a.m. directly from the Kit Kat Club where the party is held.
Wishing you a nice coming back to your life, your work, your social positions and responsabilities, we shall count the days to have you back in 2016.
Be GEGEN.
Be RIOT.

︎ Concept
After the wild 4th years Birthday Bash, this GEGEN edition plays on a precious theme of German Society and Culture, launching a malignant dance through its Kafkaesque power mechanisms. The concept is AMT and touches Bureaucracy directly. As Berlin´s economy is growing faster and faster through queer migration by using its social rights, it is interesting to see what integration means between spending money as private subject and being recognized as public subject by social institutions. As an institution is a sedimentation of relational behaviours codified in statuses-roles and mores and as the individualism of romanticism is annihilated by a german structural-functionalistic vision where a “balanced” society rejects emotions as energy-wasting unwanted-drama, social engineering enters the sphere of sexuality toward sadomasochism. The functionary is the mistress/master who owns power, expressing it through the bureaucratic language. The subject asking for rights is the designated victim in the AMT playroom. Where sex is technique, Bureaucracy is the ultimate sexual domination practice. Numbers on screens will call your torture. Your identity will be put at stake starting form the queue. The excitation given by entering the realms of the social german excellence rapidly leaves place to body liquids; the smell a generalized electric fear. You piss yourself in your pants by passing the doors of social testing and this warm feeling makes you hot but you still do not process it. Discount ties and cheap parfums, pink hair mashes and brown nails, old desks and cathodic computer screens, enchained pens and background family pictures, plastic flowers, calendars and Volkshockschule flyers with spare time activities are the new fetish. Forms are pornography and filling them is undressing yourself in the playroom. The declination of AMTs are as much as are the sexual-niches in a whatever porn portal. BÜRGER/AMT, FINANZ/AMT, ARBEITS/AMT and the merry will go around in a wonderland spiral until your social body is completely controlled. How to refuse the model making you a quantitative unit to de-organize this social body and to reach the individual orgasm beyond society, culture and market? GEGEN invites you to dance your active masochism. Refuse is Re/use. De/sign your bureaucracy by embracing it to its full. Squirt your social pain under the table and proudly show your stains on a wonderful Aldi Markt grey skirt when you stand up. Wear birkenstocks with short socks and make sure there is a hole on the big toe. Show your erections when your documents are wrongly filled. Make that purposely and do it again and again and again until ascension. Give yourself to the system as social poison. Where hate produces the enemy, love will tear it apart. You do not have to chose to be inside or outside. You want to be everywhere and decontextualise yourself by being your own negative. Embrace the esthetics with epic, by making the ethic fail.

Berlin as Transnational Metropole, is a strange bioport for nomad creatures swinging through times and spaces of creation. People come, people go, therefore we salute Tom Ass who moved to San Francisco, our resident Vj Super and our resident photographer Claudia Kent who left for a long trip and we have major surprises to present you, drop by drop, beat by beat. The first and biggest new is that THE DARKNESS had been temporary absorbed by liquid skies in electric, pink galaxies so here we introduce you the NEW CONCEPT for the Dragon Floor. Ladies, Gents, Arctophiles and Funky Robots welcome DRONE and its new booking manager and resident DJ A/ONA.GEGEN EMOTIONSEmotional absence, coldness, cynism are comfortable clothes for the postmodern behavior, an invisible wall separating the contemporary subject from the world of experience. The distance between the two entities is an economical system of relationships called capitalism, a flat, entropic, gray territory where everything is allowed and swallowed. In behavioral sciences´ history of epistemology, emotions were always a “disturbance”, a white noise that would interfere with the process of objectification in the making of science itself. We need to be cold to separate ourself from the object of our interest otherwise there wouldn´t be neither an object nor a subject. Separation and sterilization are the indicators of power in a jerarchical definition of roles. The subject dominates the object by “scientifically” defining it. Science has to be objectify to perform its own power. Within this frame, applying a “gegen” vision to emotions can be a liberating tool giving you a surprising and invisible perspective about yourself in relationship to the world. Using emotions as a part of the understanding process is a way to deconstruct the power of objectification. Embracing and performing our own emotions is a process of subjectification – or s/objectification if we prefer -, a process of individualization, a process where subject and object become one, by being in the same time multiple, deconstructing the roles of “who” defines who. Therefore “gegen emotions” is the staging of disturbance, a pretty fall out, an aesthetical crash, a “queer technique” of destabilization putting identity at stake in a process of crisis, multiplying perspectives and visions of life by embracing and celebrating noise, by polluting the demagogy of its background “whiteness”.

︎ Concept
Did you ever ask yourself why fetishism and S&M are so popular in German sexual cultures? The Gegen season is back in Berlin in time trying to answer this question, exactly one week before the advent of FOLSOM as the mainstream liturgy for the corporate transnational homo/sexual fetish market. Applying a critical vision on the world of fetishism, GEGEN FETISH is the name of the event. We love to perceive the concept of GEGEN by adding spices and being aesthetic instead of cutting off and being antithetic. In this weltanschauung, fetishism is enjoying the pulsating life within the world of objects around us. Objectifying and being objectified is multiplying the points of view about ourselves. In the same time we want to run on the razor blade of the spasm in this objectifying process. What is critical here is the need of objectification as the institutionalisation of a language in the sexual relationships as the base for a branding market giving norms-roles-statuses-identities. Is a Rob T-Shirt enough to make you a man? Is a corset enough to make you a dominatrix? And how much a codified language made by whipping, spanking, bondage, tits, cocks and balls torture, dildoes, wax, piercings and so on, traces the line between being a top or a bottom. a master or mistress and a slave? It seems the language becomes itself the s/object of desire where every emotion is defined, structured and at its very end normalised. And this normalisation is exactly functional to the transnational fetish markets which try to exotize the fetishists to expand its market toward a cosmopolitan heterosexual consumer not to be suffocated by the historification of LGBT CULTURE. GEGEN is here not just to criticize but to invent new languages in an emotional crescendo where queerness fluidifies roles, interacting on the level of desire through a process of individualisation, s/object/ification, multiplication. To Penetrate S&M languages in its holes is potential erotisation making Irony a critical performance of power. Where fear becomes joy, GEGEN will haunt you.
BE FETISH. BE GEGEN.

︎ Concept
Three years ago a strange creature took life in the middle of Revaler Strasse’s Clubland at M.I.K.Z. The story went that BOXIKUS came to WARBEAR and proposed him to do an event following the fortunate wave of the SABOT°AGE queer-techno party season. As there were two floors in the club and as by that time WARBEAR was living with TOM ASS, who was producing an experimental event called THE DARKNESS, exploring the obscurities of queer culture in a performative way, they all got together under the name of GEGEN.
GEGEN came out without its object (Gegen This, Gegen That), as the concept wanted to criticize the power mechanisms acting in the backgrounds of that monster-notion called IDENTITY. This means that being against something is a very easy position to perceive and identify yourself as, but it’s even a way to give power to your antagonist, who will always stay on top of you by defining yourself antithetical to it. A difficult, but more involving idea of freedom in life is detaching us from institutionalizing powers and finding individual ways to compose an existential project, once our own desire is focused as the goal to reach.
So the question is: Is there a possibility to be free by becoming ourselves, by being PRO our own desire?
The answer is GEGEN.
That was the main-line, whichmade us face and play with all the under-concepts we defined in each event. We started to play with such themes as fears, organs, orgasms, lives, deaths, always with this redefined, pompous and at the same time oblique, self- ironic, strange algebra that would nullify the effects of hidden powers in the construction of reality by being GEGEN the concept of GEGEN itself; so switching the meaning of GEGEN to PRO.
This idea was well defined in the first three events, but we wanted something more. To deconstruct identity we felt we needed some kind of spatial virginity. We needed a suspended space allowing us to de-establish the codified queer entertainment scenarios. In Berlin, since the Wall fell down, the revenge of the East in terms of urban exploration, made the abandoned factories and post-soviet buildings speak for themselves as possible spaces to fill up with cultural production. This “postmodernisation” made Berlin the post-industrial, post-ideological Mecca, fuelled by the explosive ludic drive of expression injected in Western people’s minds after decades of repression. Areas like the Revaler Strasse block became the highlight of independent clubbing, which folded onto itself once this hedonism was ruminated in all its possible marketing ways ever.
We wanted to be free from this necrosis. We wanted to create an impossible space to perform multiplicities so to invite different artists and social groups to experience a new exciting tumble down of the schematic field in which to collocate ourselves as city consumers. This meant mixing everything up: the queer communities in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The LGBT community of Schöneberg, the artist community of Mitte, the new music and queer scene of Neukölln, the academic scene, all the different scenes from squats to raves passing through the subcultural tuttifrutti. To make this Molotov cocktail explosive, we put it on fire through a special work on body focusing on big bodies, different abilities, intersexualisms, intergenerational relationships, a deconstruction of the heteronormativisation of heterosexualism, as much as the criticism of homonormativity and homonationalism. The method was simple as it dealt with exploring the theme, providing and granting a safe space for it to happen as a personal discovery, through the party. It was already clearly happening in the super codified M.I.K.Z., because of the multiple networks of relationships that all of us had, which found their spaces within the party geography. Walls had to fall down as the central joyful engine of the event. We needed a location that was not just empathic with the project, but that gave to this continuous process of differentiation the right dynamic, letting people confront themselves without the fear of feeling “out of place” as “out” was the “place” to be and feel.
For strange connecting patterns of a collective mind, KIT KAT happened.
We had the possibility to enter the dreamland of a queer family, whose club is a kingdom of a special transhumanity that was queer de-facto as they were working since almost twenty years in the same direction. It was a Big Bang and we were immediately accepted as part of a future Atlantis where musics, arts, sexualities, loves, freedoms and, most of all, the pleasure to perform ourselves outside our own constructed boundaries, would find a spontaneous out-of-time-and-space. This last two years, GEGEN grew constantly, letting different parts of Berlin not just be excited about this performative, joyful, Friday crisis, but to become the open doors to a worldwide connection of travelers, who started to book their flights according to GEGEN dates to be there, be PRO and BECOME themselves.
We wanted it to be a precious moment where everything was curated at its best and that had to be selected as active entertainment, where participants did not fall inside it randomly as an agenda routine read on a whatever free-press, but chose to be consciously there.
We felt invested by one of the biggest live energies ever and we are grateful to all of you for giving us inputs, ideas, fluxes and weltanschauungen to reconstruct them back as an open creative platform making GEGEN an unrepeatable experience. Most of the concepts in those two years came from our public. So GEGEN is YOU, as much as you will be born again and again by becoming yourself through the definition of your own desire.
Memory is not a dogma but a collective mechanism. By cancelling the past and experiencing the present through an already touchable future, GEGEN will live forever when it dies as the memory of it. Let the contradiction explode in a new revealing life in the fourth year of GEGEN.
We wish to thank for those excellent times of beauty and fire all the people who accompanied us. We love you all. GEGEN BIRTH.

Three years ago a strange creature took life in the middle of Revaler Strasse’s Clubland at M.I.K.Z. The story went that BOXIKUS came to WARBEAR and proposed him to do an event following the fortunate wave of the SABOT°AGE queer-techno party season. As there were two floors in the club and as by that time WARBEAR was living with TOM ASS, who was producing an experimental event called THE DARKNESS, exploring the obscurities of queer culture in a performative way, they all got together under the name of GEGEN.
GEGEN came out without its object (Gegen This, Gegen That), as the concept wanted to criticize the power mechanisms acting in the backgrounds of that monster-notion called IDENTITY. This means that being against something is a very easy position to perceive and identify yourself as, but it’s even a way to give power to your antagonist, who will always stay on top of you by defining yourself antithetical to it. A difficult, but more involving idea of freedom in life is detaching us from institutionalizing powers and finding individual ways to compose an existential project, once our own desire is focused as the goal to reach.
So the question is: Is there a possibility to be free by becoming ourselves, by being PRO our own desire?
The answer is GEGEN.
That was the main-line, whichmade us face and play with all the under-concepts we defined in each event. We started to play with such themes as fears, organs, orgasms, lives, deaths, always with this redefined, pompous and at the same time oblique, self- ironic, strange algebra that would nullify the effects of hidden powers in the construction of reality by being GEGEN the concept of GEGEN itself; so switching the meaning of GEGEN to PRO.
This idea was well defined in the first three events, but we wanted something more. To deconstruct identity we felt we needed some kind of spatial virginity. We needed a suspended space allowing us to de-establish the codified queer entertainment scenarios. In Berlin, since the Wall fell down, the revenge of the East in terms of urban exploration, made the abandoned factories and post-soviet buildings speak for themselves as possible spaces to fill up with cultural production. This “postmodernisation” made Berlin the post-industrial, post-ideological Mecca, fuelled by the explosive ludic drive of expression injected in Western people’s minds after decades of repression. Areas like the Revaler Strasse block became the highlight of independent clubbing, which folded onto itself once this hedonism was ruminated in all its possible marketing ways ever.
We wanted to be free from this necrosis. We wanted to create an impossible space to perform multiplicities so to invite different artists and social groups to experience a new exciting tumble down of the schematic field in which to collocate ourselves as city consumers. This meant mixing everything up: the queer communities in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The LGBT community of Schöneberg, the artist community of Mitte, the new music and queer scene of Neukölln, the academic scene, all the different scenes from squats to raves passing through the subcultural tuttifrutti. To make this Molotov cocktail explosive, we put it on fire through a special work on body focusing on big bodies, different abilities, intersexualisms, intergenerational relationships, a deconstruction of the heteronormativisation of heterosexualism, as much as the criticism of homonormativity and homonationalism. The method was simple as it dealt with exploring the theme, providing and granting a safe space for it to happen as a personal discovery, through the party. It was already clearly happening in the super codified M.I.K.Z., because of the multiple networks of relationships that all of us had, which found their spaces within the party geography. Walls had to fall down as the central joyful engine of the event. We needed a location that was not just empathic with the project, but that gave to this continuous process of differentiation the right dynamic, letting people confront themselves without the fear of feeling “out of place” as “out” was the “place” to be and feel.
For strange connecting patterns of a collective mind, KIT KAT happened.
We had the possibility to enter the dreamland of a queer family, whose club is a kingdom of a special transhumanity that was queer de-facto as they were working since almost twenty years in the same direction. It was a Big Bang and we were immediately accepted as part of a future Atlantis where musics, arts, sexualities, loves, freedoms and, most of all, the pleasure to perform ourselves outside our own constructed boundaries, would find a spontaneous out-of-time-and-space. This last two years, GEGEN grew constantly, letting different parts of Berlin not just be excited about this performative, joyful, Friday crisis, but to become the open doors to a worldwide connection of travelers, who started to book their flights according to GEGEN dates to be there, be PRO and BECOME themselves.
We wanted it to be a precious moment where everything was curated at its best and that had to be selected as active entertainment, where participants did not fall inside it randomly as an agenda routine read on a whatever free-press, but chose to be consciously there.

Eating the heart of “identity”, this GEGEN edition vomits the solstice of summer corpses and new relational models by playing with the stone concept of UNITY as criticism of the easy “community” rhetorics.
To perform that Jazz, all the Artists, Producers, Djs and Vjs shall emancipate the GEGEN degrees of togetherness as scene-dividuals with all “back-to-backs” sets, composite installations, food designs, intersexuhairities and strangling parfumes in a pandroginous dance spasm.
You are invited to disclose yourself in a beautiful catharsis; the danger zone of being NOT.
