Social Muscle Club combines intimate performances, live music, and cabaret with a social game in a big party atmosphere. Need a hug? Maybe tax return support? Relationship advice or a magic mushroom smoothie while floating down a river with a friend? The aim of the game is to share something you need and something you have to give, and the resulting matches are celebrated with cheering, dancing and debauchery!
Social Muscle Club is a worldwide phenomenon that originated in Berlin and has been staged in such places as the UK, South Africa, France, Australia, and Austria.
“The Social Muscle Club has received an enormous response. The concept is far removed from the classic ideas of mediation. The aim is to intensify the interaction itself. SMC is consistently oriented towards the goal of participation, which is becoming a new urgency everywhere, even in traditional institutions. The playful removal of inhibitions means that all participants give each other gifts without knowing each other.” Best Practice Study, Creative Europe
