The performative encounter is a subversive exploration of anticipation and togetherness that puts expectations to the test. A broad Berlin public is invited to come together at the park without knowing what exactly will transpire. What gradually unfolds is an immersive social choreography: an unpredictable experiment in radical solidarity that turns the “theater” of the audience inside out and calls the fictions of reality into question.
During the month of August, this work is foregrounded by experimental activist communication and social-media actions in virtual and urban space. Through these engagements, Kim invites a diverse demographic to join “Unspeakable Community” — from the far-left to the far-right, to the most marginalized and the most excluded, as well as the most privileged.
