A Workshop by Constanza Piña Pardo (artist, dancer, researcher Berlin/ Chile), Nicol Rivera Aro (artist, researcher, dramaturg, Berlin/ Chile), pamela varela (artist, activist, poet, Berlin, Mexico), Flo Razoux (biologist, educator, Berlin/ Marseille)

Connected through an octopus-like pleasure antenna, alien bodies will merge into a unique open source body, in which the inner spiritual creatures of each contributing cell will be revealed.
