17. Mutuogenesis Live
Poster announcing Mutuogenesis Live at Berghain Kantine as part of Sâadane Afif’s exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof and the section Live!
The Mutuogenesis band will perform the lyrics of the invited guest artist with a back drop narrative of the secret lives of cockroaches, a speculation on humanity being reincarnated as cockroaches for their sins against the environment and having to start again as cockroaches and without the use of hands with opposing forefinger and thumb.
