Erratum

ᴛɪᴄᴋᴇᴛꜱ ᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ ᴠɪᴀ ʟɪɴᴋ ɪɴ ʙɪᴏ Performances at @berlinerringtheater from May 17 to 23 F*GG0T*S is an authorised theatrical adaptation of Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta’s ‘’The F*gg0ts and Their Friends Between Revolutions’’ (1977). Created by Hadrien Daigneault-Roy and Sascha Cowan, the performance explores the ramifications of cyborg f*gg0tries in the era of artificial intelligence. This solo act, performed by drag artist Hassandra, exists beyond time and trends, somewhere between the vibrant New York of the Stonewall riots and the dark depths of Berlin’s darkrooms. Queens, fairies, and f*gg0ts make their voices resonate like an earworm, intertwining and contradicting each other, to reveal the hidden community of Pansy Path, the only place to be. Interdisciplinary and radical, F*GG0T*S explores the potential of a queer body that fully embraces synthetic, artificial, and technological means to appear and disappear at will. Everything is fake. Everything is real.

''F*GG0T*S is Erratum’s phantasmagoric solo drag adaptation of the cult manifesto The F*gg0ts and Their Friends Between Revolutions (1977). Hassandra @queenofvirginity gives voice to the book’s Faggots, Queens, and Fairies, transforming drag into a cyborg practice where multiple identities coexist in one body. Vocal-mask technology and AI-driven sensors designed by Luke Nickel turn her voice and face into musical instruments, while a monumental pink dress transforms into the houses of the Pansy Path, revealing microcosms of 0rgy, rebellion, and healing. FAGGOT*S carries underground knowledge and wisdom, from Stonewall to Berlin’s darkrooms. Everything is fake. Everything is real.''

Find the whole Hausfest program on our profile. *** Jiannyuh Wang commands the bonfire with a slow, hypnotic fusion of traditional Chinese calligraphy and contemporary choreography. Armed with a giant brush, red ink and an oversized roll of paper, they merge the act of writing with ecstatic movement, flowing to the pulse of the music. Calligraphy, already a dance of the hand, expands into a full-body and visceral ritual. The ink runs. The paper tears. In this ritual, every word is a spell, flowing past the page and transforming the space itself. *** Sound installation by @majd.o.len Performances by @queenofvirginity @jiannyuhw @iacopo.loliva @erratum.studio @blair_transdorf @saschathefool Design: @maison.cc.berlin Lights by @sol.lx 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 April 30 - 21:00 to 23:00 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Berliner Ringtheater Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 Projektfonds Kultur zum 1.

Find the whole Hausfest program on our profile. *** Erratum (Blair Transdorf and Sascha the Fool) unleash a séance where the abject tips into the grotesque, leaving the audience with one deeply unsettling question: why the hell am I attracted to this? Moving through the crowd with a bucket of viscous substance, the duo launches into a paradoxical cleansing ritual that blurs the line between purification and contamination, desire and disgust. Bodies slip, fall and oscillate between the sacred and the absurd. *** Sound installation by @majd.o.len Performances by @queenofvirginity @jiannyuhw @iacopo.loliva @erratum.studio @blair_transdorf @saschathefool Design: @maison.cc.berlin Lights by @sol.lx 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 April 30 - 21:00 to 23:00 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Berliner Ringtheater Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 Projektfonds Kultur zum 1.

Find the whole Hausfest program on our profile. *** Iacopo Loliva, contemporary dancer and choreographer, enters the fire with a performance inspired by tarantism, a South Italian ritual often associated with bodies deemed excessive, queer or unruly. In the original rite, outcasts were allowed to dance and let loose only when pretending to be bitten by a spider, entering a trance in which everything was permitted. Only through this total trance could they be restored from their “madness’’. Here, that logic remains, but without the need for a cure: sanity and insanity coexist. *** Sound installation by @majd.o.len Performances by @queenofvirginity @jiannyuhw @iacopo.loliva @erratum.studio @blair_transdorf @saschathefool Design: @maison.cc.berlin Lights by @sol.lx 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 April 30 - 21:00 to 23:00 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Berliner Ringtheater Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 Projektfonds Kultur zum 1.

Find the whole Hausfest program on our profile. *** Majdolen is a Syrian-born composer, producer, and sound artist, exploring how sound not only shapes narratives, perception, and emotional space, but also transforms them. Her sound installation is the thread that runs throughout the entire evening, channeling a mystical live sonic universe that binds each performance together and transforms the theatre into a dancefloor. Majdolen combines tactile synthesis, field recordings, tonal drift, and spatial experimentation with structured composition, algorithmic processes, and hybrid acoustic-electronic methods. *** Sound installation by @majd.o.len Performances by @queenofvirginity @jiannyuhw @iacopo.loliva @erratum.studio @blair_transdorf @saschathefool Design: @maison.cc.berlin Lights by @sol.lx 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 April 30 - 21:00 to 23:00 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Berliner Ringtheater Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 Projektfonds Kultur zum 1.

Hassandra, drag artist, performer, and co-founder of ADIRA, takes over the bonfire to explore water’s healing virtues through a live ceremony reflecting on the Mediterranean Sea, drop by drop. Her ritual evokes water’s dual nature: life-sustaining and fearsome. It is a purifying force, as in the sacred Zamzam water, and a vessel of loss, marked by the blood of shipwrecked refugee boats. *** Fünf Künstler:innen. Ein Lagerfeuer. Freier Eintritt.

Hassandra, Drag-Künstler:in, Performer:in und Mitgründer:in von ADIRA wird in einer Live-Zeremonie den heilenden Kräften des Wassers nachzuspüren und über das Mittelmeer zu reflektieren, Tropfen für Tropfen. Das Ritual beschwört die doppelte Natur des Wassers: lebensspendend und furchteinflößend. Es ist eine reinigende Kraft, wie das heilige Zamzam-Wasser, und zugleich ein Medium des Verlusts, gezeichnet vom Blut der Menschen, die auf Flüchtlingsbooten Schiffbruch erleiden. *** Sound installation by @majd.o.len Performances by @queenofvirginity @jiannyuhw @iacopo.loliva @erratum.studio @blair_transdorf @saschathefool Design: @maison.cc.berlin Lights by @sol.lx 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 April 30 - 21:00 to 23:00 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Berliner Ringtheater Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 Projektfonds Kultur zum 1.

Traditionally lit to mark the arrival of spring and ward off witches and evil spirits, these bonfires become gathering points for the outcasts, the healers and the unruly, places to share what could not be said in daylight, to pass on forbidden knowledge and to build community at the margins. This Walpurgisnacht, the fire is lit once more by the collective Wide Open. Berlin’s creatures of the night crawl out of the darkrooms and dance floors to take center stage at Berliner Ringtheater as part of Neue Zukunft’s Hausfest, with the audience invited to circle, dance and celebrate around a 360° raised platform. Wide Open calls on six artists to fuel a Hexenfeuer with their most ritualistic performances of DIY spellcasting.
