Death Drive-In Community funding
Donation protected
Hiya! We are Lauri Lohi (Helsinki) and Riley Davidson (Berlin, Gutter Gucci) and Johnny Questions saying hello to you through the depths of the interwebs.
We are gathered here today to raise funds for Death Drive-In: a brain child born out of drag/clowning, nervous system regulation, and tools for collective liberation offered through participatory theatre.
In this moment where many folks are raising funds to evacuate their families from occupied P@lestine it is particularly fraught to seek the financial support of our communities. We offer this ask with the commitment that Death Drive-In lives as a somatic skill share, a tending to collective grief, and has always been an offering to the birth of a new future.
What is Death Drive-In? Is it a diner or a drag show?
“ Death Drive-In is the campiest heavenly diner around; an existential simulation located in a void. Heralding back to capitalism's golden days, the piece discusses our current relationship with capitalism, consumer culture and its effects on our nervous systems. Guided by your uncanny, queer hostess with the mostess Steven. The piece utilizes participatory theater and play as a tool to teach nervous system regulation. Once we have collectively regulated our nervous systems we open a space for collective grieving through ritual”
What will these funds go towards you ask? Lettuce tell you:
- Cost of rehearsal space to prepare the piece.
- Proper wages for the whole team.
- Paying the venue costs of Alte Münze who have already offered us the space at a reduced cost and have been generous supporters of our piece and the Berlin cultural scene at large.
- Covering Gofundme's fee-costs
As a thank you, Steven is prepared to offer a menu of tasty digital snacks for your viewing pleasure:
