Venus in Libra
The meeting place is The Last Mermaid, a night club where Coco reigns as queen of the night. With a mix of music, spoken word and dance, the creatures of darkness surrender to their true selves. No virtue (or vice) is forgotten, no intoxicant is left untouched. But the many bells and whistles hide a deep malaise. Venus in Libra searches for balance in a world that refuses to learn from its mistakes. There is a need for transparency, softening, feminisation. Radical love and sex with permission. Individual expression and collective awareness. Generous encounters and heartfelt embraces. Coco confronts, balances, holds up a mirror in which society shows its true face. Who represents the status quo and what side of the (r)evolution are you on?
