2. Raving Experiences: Juan Carlos and Sir Rita

In the second episode, neo talks with their guests about the
dancefloor as a social space and raving as an experience. What do
we feel when we are on the dancefloor? Sir Rita, curator and
writer for GEGEN relates raving to them as dance therapy and
trauma processing machines. Juan Carlos, who experienced (queer)
communities throughout the years in San Francisco, New York,
Miami, Puerto Rico tells about the unique intergenerational
connections he makes on the dancefloors in Berlin. Together we
discuss the affective states of emergency and body liberation via
dancing, raving, connecting, vibrating and shaking and the
potentials of pleasure activism in queer club culture.
