Even when I am in a bad mood, I walk around with a radiant smile ‒ because it is simply too risky to be perceived as in a bad mood, and thereby as "dangerous." PRETENDING! My clothes are super accurate. Because if you are seen as "different" and "poor," there is no respect and thereby no protection. Pretend! Face it! Pretend! Survival technique.

Be how and what you want! Space for freedom, design possibilities, space for self-designs. Do your thing! Was there not a promise? To be someone, to be someone else, to design oneself. Development. Was that reality? For whom? And what if the gazes fixate, if the expectations hold on, in the old role, in the externally determined role? The spaces are small. Who is allowed to claim to be something different than what the attribution dictates? Face it!

So: Where do we draw the energy from? To go out. To show ourselves, with our 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, moving back and forth between attack and defense, between self-protection and hyper-visibility, it is the queer everyday performance, to confront, alone or together.

The Ballhaus Naunynstraße presents after Gritty Glamour (2015), FRUTAS AFRODISÍACAS (2016), and the solo performance Memory of Dislocation – Exactly the same is the opposite direction (2017) with Everybody can be everybody can not be now Jao Moon’s fourth work. As the choreographer of a team of performers, it is a debut for Moon!

A production by Kultursprünge in Ballhaus Naunynstraße gemeinnützige GmbH. The premiere production was funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion of the State of Berlin.
