What does it mean to stay alive when the city itself pushes you to disappear?
Betty is a queer graphic designer whose life unravels after a ruthless tax inspection leaves them with an impossible debt. As bureaucracy strips away their home, belongings, and sense of self, Betty drifts through a labyrinth of offices, notices, and dead ends.
Along the way they meet Regina, an older woman who roams the streets with her shopping cart, convinced that even in trash there are treasures, poetry, and fragile glimpses of beauty.
She dances tango, opening a doorway to tenderness and a utopian elsewhere.
The staging unfolds as a triptych-street, tax office, apartment-placing the audience inside Berlin’s contradictions: openness and exclusion, beauty and ruin, collapse and reinvention.
What remains possible when the system erases everything? Can dignity, freedom and tenderness still survive?
Tender, wild, and defiantly alive – Divine Animal speaks of precarity and resilience of the fragile strategies marginalized bodies invent to keep meaning alive amid chaos.

About us:
Blu Abis, a small independent production house, was founded by Ángela Amarilla and Tobias Gelbert, two artists and friends committed to telling urgent stories with emotional depth and innovative form.
For Divine Animal, we joined forces with an extraordinary cast and creative team to create a piece conceived especially for – and in dialogue with – Berlin.
We work as a collective of actors, designers, and storytellers united by the belief that theatre is a space for connection and transformation, bringing together diverse experiences to build a world where urban realism collides with queer cabaret energy, absurd humor mingles with raw emotion, and gestures of care take center stage.
Im Club für Stadtentdecker:innen erlebst du jeden Monat neue Veranstaltungen von Kultur über Entertainment bis hin zu Sport – immer zu zweit und per Freikarte!
