Y: SURVIVE!

Survival strategies. Connecting.

Don’t we want to do more than just survive?

We don’t want to view survival as a basic state of sacrifice, struggle, loneliness and depletion. We want to survive together, in symbiosis, with an emancipating and surprising strength and zest for life. Y: Survive! wants to be a celebration of living and surviving, because if we manage to survive long enough, we will build surprising connections that won't collapse under their own weight.

Y: Survive! aims to celebrate mutual living and survival. We seek emancipatory possibilities when we feel too weak, tired, threatened or sick. Y: Survive! wants to fill the underground space of X10 Theatre by mobilizing unease, infusing visitors´ bodies with resilience or massaging tired limbs of cultural workers by energizing life.
