Everytime I See You, You Bring A Beet For Me: How do you heal a dinosaur? How do you create a song with a beetroot? How do we come together across conflict and differences to intervene in and overcome systems of power? How are we transformed through traumatic events and how do we find healing in how events change us? All of these questions get raised but never fully answered. At the heart of this play lies a painful conflict. After it the characters are on their journey to cope with it. In this game you are invited to experience dinosaur blues and beetroot joys. We welcome you to play and explore the topic of healing and form your own opinions on it.

Olezha started their art practice in 2018 in Belarus by making photo and video works, which slowly transformed into working with live action role plays. Since then they designed and facilitated a few games concerned with topics of queerness and community. The 2022 war in Ukraine got them displaced to Berlin, where they plan to stay and develop their practice further by engaging with local communities.

Lo Moran creates interdisciplinary projects that are often socially engaged, participatory and collaborative. They aim to experiment with and question the systems we are embedded in by organizing situations of connection, openness and nonhierarchical learning. Working towards accessibility and reimagined ways of being together, they investigate strategies for community support and belonging. They are currently working on a comics and audio series. Lo has also been involved in creative projects within disability communities for the last nine years and performs experimental music as soft fantasy. They try their best to embrace fluidity and chaos to contribute to emergent futures and radical approaches.
