Playfulness is multi-media narratives, interaction, body movements, community, food, games: it is a way of approaching art -and life🌱- with experimentation and joy.

We had a great festival 💙💚🧡💜

First part of the recap!
On November 21st, The Overkill Festival was inaugurated with a collaborative performance facilitated by the Chilean collective called Resistencia, that denounced the violence and discrimination suffered by women and members of the lgbtq+ community.
Regardless of the blunt cold, the performance was followed by a march of resistance, led by a sound system on wheels, and followed by a procession of joy, noise and color 📢🔈💥🌈🪧🪇🥁

Kudos to the community of wonderful people resisting with joy and playfulness, and to the bautiful photos by 📸 💗

Pulse Friction 🧨 performances + modular music + sound experiments to vibrate, shake and release.
