July 4, we gather at TRANSFORMATOR at DARK MATTER for a night that shifts shapes.

Shapes move, shift, morph and come together. On dance-floors, in scenes and subcultures, people mix, states change and new shapes form. Part fashion show, part party, we’ll celebrate Berlin’s fluidity of movement and thought with a tour through scenes, sounds and states.

Fashion show meets the dance floor, performances cut through stillness, and identities flow without borders. All set within the pulse and tension of SKALAR, the monumental light installation that watches and responds.

We are the Shapes of Us.
