Gegen Illusions — GEGEN BERLIN

It would be an illusion to think that the individual can hide all the clues to his oneness. His task is therefore to see to it that all the clues are wrongly interpreted. Thus it is that they may seem to indicate a lack of individuality and create a feeling of disappointment, rather then curiosity.

This tactic gives us space and protection in the traps of time. An individual has many personalities or characters at the same time or alternately.

Recent cognitive brain theories supports this. most people, little by little, eliminate their personalities considered to be dangerous by their peer group or social unit, and finally keep only one:
the social personality; one dimensional flat people.

But other people called, paradoxically, individuals, are always trying to develop all their personalities even if there is an internal conflict between them so we can clearly see that the individualist person logically must use "we" to name himself as the person who belong to the masses must use the "I".

Friday the 6th of January in the 2012th year of Gegen, we are delighted to invite you to archeological promenade through the critical thought ruins.

This Gegen Concept is dedicated to the "illusions" and how they are oriented to define the labyrinth of reality. Are you sure that reality is what you perceive?

Are you sure that it is you to define the boundary between what is right and real or wrong and unreal? and did you ever ask yourself who are you in the middle of this dialectics?

The "Illusion" of - being recognized as - free is the best marketing technique in the queer world's glittering cirque, in a city like Berlin that needs the illusion of a space of social rights, art, culture, sexuality and whatever keeps the turbo-gentrification flow going by squashing poor minorities who built the post world war Germany up and in favor of the "rich western migration resource".

So Gegen invites you to expose yourself, seduce, dance, be penetrated by your questions and get lost in the thrush of your own multiple answers. Delete your past, abolish your future and you'll become your present poison in the puppets' garden of asphyxia.

The Grand Guignols of this killing theater shall mesmerize the audience through haunting black lights and spasm where wrong is true, is false, is right, is wrong.

At their best, Djs are going to light up your illusions with live bands, performers, magicians, illusionists, masseurs, strange animals, modified organisms and yore shadows.

Use your delusions. Be GEGEN.
