Pride Protocole

In a dystopian future (perhaps not too far off)...

For several decades, governments have progressively banned meeting places and festive spaces, considered unproductive, uncontrollable and incompatible with established norms.
But some “deviations” refuse to disappear.

In spaces shielded from surveillance, humans, robots and other creatures (of all kinds, shapes, sizes and operating systems) come together again for something as simple as it is subversive: to dance together.

To mark this long-awaited Pride, Bendo Club × DCTV activate the PRIDE Protocol: a hybrid experience where electronic music, video and performances blend together to create a space for celebration, freedom and self-expression.

The bodies are moving.
The genres are blending.
The machines dance with the humans.
The night will navigate between techno, hard trance, and hypnotic grooves, from darkness to the first glimmers of hope. Physical music, sometimes brutal, sometimes luminous, always driven by movement. Music made by humans, with machines, and for humans and machines.
Video performances and devices will be an integral part of the experience: apparitions, disturbances, images of resistance, augmented bodies and strange presences will build an immersive narrative throughout the night, between reality and fiction.

Because, ultimately, the protocol is simple:
DANCE.
BE YOURSELF.
BE FREE.

The 3 laws of the PRIDE Protocol (applied to humans and machines)
I — Consent is the motherboard.
A clear yes, a respected no. Zero tolerance for harassment and discrimination.
II — Protect your system and that of others.
Stay hydrated, look out for others, and ask for help if needed. Do not drive after consuming alcohol.
III — You are free to dance.
Move, jump, shout, laugh, love, exist. As long as you respect the first two laws.
Welcome to the PRIDE Protocol.

Humans, robots, cyborgs, creatures and other autonomous systems: the night awaits you.
