Safe Mob

  • Milena Stein
  • June 12th - 13th 2026
  • TATWERK | Berlin
In the picture you see four female presenting persons in front of a black background. The person in the middle wears a long glittering dress and a blue helmet with wires that have cotton wool sticking in their ends, giving the impression of clouds. The three others performers do not wear cloths and hug the person in the middle.

Can a group be safe and at the same time have the revolutionary power of a mob? The paradox of a safe mob is the driving force of the piece that investigates how we connect and come together in groups. Inspired by feminist theory, such as Donna Haraway's Staying with the trouble, the performers seek to find answers to that question by insisting in the creative and generative potential of difference and friction. They explore the deep longing for dissolving in the other and build temporary structures that gain stability through resistance. The dancers inhabit a realm of messy encounters that breath through desire, repulsion and the fascination. 
They weave a fabric that fills in the gaps of the institutionalized forms in which social life is being structured. A fabric that is mesmerizing and uncanny in its complexity, glimmering with irresistible erotic energy - the force of life which makes us come together in one voice, which makes us trust and risk.
