Venue DNA
Industrial architecture, raw brick, high windows — urban and open. A space that already had character; it needed a night that could read it.
Curatorial thesis
Berlin between commerce and creativity, displacement and vision — exhibition and ecstasy, gallery and dance floor in one arc.

Performance
Four dancers — two in the upper windows, two moving between the guests. Torch light, fog, wind curtains, lines of light.
Charity
Charity for SHOFCO — women's education and safety — with the raffle of a work by Doreen Steinert.
Built twice — the day before
The day before: rigging and hanging, technology, bar and cooling logistics, soundcheck, full dress rehearsal, team walkthrough. A night like this is built twice — once in silence.
