Synopsis: It is winter 2015, in the Eastern part of Berlin’s city centre. Active at the time of the German Democratic Republic, a restaurant now in disuse is planned to be destroyed soon. An underground group takes it over and decides to organise there 5 parties. The initiative is called: “Dein Drama in 5 Akten (Your Drama in 5 Acts)”. Recreating an ascensional climax, the 5 events follow in sequence: “The Vision”, “The Seduction”, “The Touch”, “The Confusion” and “The Ecstasy”. A huge amount of work is done in the DIY (Do It Yourself) way. The walls are soundproofed, a few bars and a dance floor are built, whilst the whole place is constantly redecorated according to the theme of the next upcoming event. The group of artists grows larger with everyone feeling more and more united through their journey. The awakening comes right after the last event. ‘The Ecstasy’. It is time to dismantle everything and leave. A couple of months later the building is torn down as planned and replaced by a supermarket.
