FAST TRACK / SPEEDY BOARDING / PRIORITY

To avoid long waiting times and queuing at the door, we would like to ask you for some cooperation in order to let you access the club quicker and let us work fast
The cloakroom demands most of the time – this is why it would be fantastic if you could help us

2. You MUST leave your jacket/ overcoat in the cloakroom. Preferably also hand in your sweater/ pullover – the club is very well heated!

3. Hang up your sweater/ pullover on a coat-hanger and put your jacket/ overcoat over it. Please DO NOT CRAM anything into the sleeves!

4. Please store your valuables safely and make sure you close all pockets on your garments well. Please also zip, button, etc. your jacket/ overcoat on the hanger, so it won't fall off it.

5. Bags and similar items will be handled separately. You will receive an extra ticket for each item.

6. You can pick up something from your clothes and/ or bags at any time! The attended cloakroom is for free!

PRO - EMOTIONAL – LOGO
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”.
Be Emotional, BE GEGEN.
