FLOP

2026 concept and programme

2 of 36

Flop is…

The person you sleep with for 4 months without learning their mother’s name
The song you never realized you knew the lyrics to
The hobby you do without being good at it
The friend you want to see but never have to see
The drug store shampoo you know but never buy
The pattern you see when you close your eyes
The second room of the brothel
The dressing room at the fashion show
The patio of the bakery a block from Berghain
The failure that means more than success
The cave without enough light to see the puppets
The perfect nap
The moment the bathwater covers your kneecaps
The smoking room
That slumber party when you were kissing while everyone else was asleep
A joke
A play
The moment when it’s over, but no one’s gotten out of bed
The pause before you reach for your phone
The respite from the revolution
The breath your coat makes when you take it off

Flop is…

The song you never realized you knew the lyrics to
The friend you want to see but never have to see
The pattern you see when you close your eyes
The second room of the brothel
One big green room
The patio of the bakery a block from the club
The failure that means more than the success
The perfect nap
The moment the bathwater covers your kneecaps
The smoking room
That slumber party when you were kissing while everyone else was asleep
A joke
A play
The pause before you reach for your phone
The respite from the revolution
The breath your coat makes when you take it off

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…
