Performance Platform. Body Affects was a 4 day festival which took place 5-8 July 2012  at Sophiensaele, Berlin.

The Manifesto of Urban Cannibalism (Berlin Declaration) was adapted for the Performance Platform Body Affects. The Manifesto (published in the reader) was also a performance enacting the organic and inorganic voices of the city, of the liquid flows of minerals and invisible ecologies of microorganisms that constitutes the bodies of buildings and beings. The Manifesto will be proclaimed by the historical larynxes and the deep memories of the Sophiensaele building itself. Audience is invited to partake and feast on a geophagic convivium.
