Dance performance by Jao Moon
"Even when I'm in a bad mood, I walk around with a beaming smile - because it's simply too risky to be perceived as being in a bad mood and therefore as "dangerous". PRETENDING! My clothes are super neat. Because if you're seen as "different" and "poor", there's no respect and therefore no protection. Pretend! Face it! Pretend! Survival technique."

Be who and what you want! Freedom, creative possibilities, space for self-design. Do your thing! Wasn't there a promise? To be someone, to be someone else, to design yourself. Development. Was that reality? For whom? And what if the gazes are fixed, if the expectations hold you back in the old role, in the role determined by others? The spaces are small. Who can claim to be something other than what they're labeled? Face it!
So: where do people get the energy from? To go out. To show themselves, with their own face. You have to face it!
Everybody can be everybody can not be is a danced queer performance about exoticization, energies of resistance and self-determined visibility. Everybody can be everybody can not be is the queer everyday performance, back and forth between attack and defense, between self-protection and hypervisibility, it is the queer everyday performance of confronting, alone, together.
After Gritty Glamour (2015), FRUTAS AFRODISÍACAS (2016) and the solo performance Memory of Dislocation – Exactly the same is the opposite direction (2017), the Ballhaus Naunynstraße is now showing Jao Moon’s fourth work with Everybody can be everybody can not be. It is a debut for Moon as a choreographer of a team of performers.
