KIT KET 014
We are ritualistic creatures who we believe in practicing the letting go of what was instead of simply forgetting it ever happened.
After the pandemic, Kit Ket never quite fully returned. It forced Mise en ScĂ©ne to shut down its previous location and, once possible, to restart in a new one - one that is much better suited for their needs and rituals but sadly one that doesnât allow for the queer entropy that Kit Kit brings.
We believe Kit Ket was site-specific, the freedom and togetherness we created there was unique to its location and design.
We are immeasurably grateful to Eduardo and the whole team for having allowed these gatherings to unfold beyond financial gain and with a much eager desire to build together this much needed type of space.
As we consider how to move forward if at all, we realize the state gentrification and neoliberal policies has left Lisbon in. Spaces close down, unable to support themselves, queer crowds unable to afford the costs of a night out. Despite our lack of faith that we could carry the energy we once created to a new space, even if we wanted to, we simply could not afford it. Raising costs would imply that the community that needs it the most, the community we always tried to reach and vouch for, wouldnât be able to attend.
So we leave it as it was, in all its glory. Untethered and unbridled celebratory queer joy. Nonsense musical narratives that were free and freeing.
Thank you who came time and time again, daring to find yourself alongside us. The memories of transness being shared and indulged in all its imperfectness and complexity became core references for us that allowed us to feel free as well. We couldnât have become who we are without you.
And for ONE LAST TIME, from 3 till 9PM, we gather at Mise en Scéne, not(!) as a house RAVE but as a cuddle puddle of psychedelic ambient beats. Join us as we reminisce and once more, in togetherness, accept the end of this chapter.
That same night we take over That Side at Outra Cena, from 00h30, to unleash the RAVEnous unfiltered sonic energy that was so unique and specific to Kit Ket, One Last Time.
