July 5, Maaya Berlin
THERAPY New collection Show
Dystopian Games: Deconstructing the armour
The rebellion culminates on Sunday, July 5th, at Maaya Berlin.
New Collection Presentation Show: Dystopian Games. Deconstructing the Armor
17 players. One ruthless arena.
This collection is a manifestation against the violent oppression of a system that demands absolute homogeneity. A system that dictates there is only one acceptable way to exist in the world, forcing every human being into a pre-designed mold, while brutally excluding anyone who refuses to fit.
Set against the corporate machinery of the World Cup, the bio-technological coercion of the Enhanced Games, and the proliferation of performance and weight-loss drugs, Dystopian Games ironizes textiles created as control tools. By twisting high-performance athletic codes alongside the restrictive anatomy of corsetry and shapewear garments, the show uses satire and extreme silhouettes to expose the dark reality of forced optimization.
Reclaiming Autonomy Through Deconstruction
This is a parodic protest against a system that pressures us to consume—be it products, drugs, or treatments—just to alter our biology and fit into external standards.
As a brand rooted in upcycling and circularity, this collection represents the ultimate subversion of mass production. Rather than creating new resources to feed a relentless corporate machine, we have stripped down, reconstructed, and ironized existing athletic and shapewear uniforms. By giving these textiles a new, defiant life, 17 bodies mock the corporate demand for perfection, high performance, and production, reclaiming their autonomy.
Blade Runner, the original Dystopia
The collection is a haunting collision between the iconic cyberpunk poetry of Blade Runner’s Roy Batty—capturing the melancholy of beauty melting away "like tears in rain"—and a ruthless, dystopian arena focused entirely on extreme productivity, performance, and perfection.
This is the visual breakdown of bodies pushed to their biological limits by corporate machinery, performance drugs, and forced optimization.
The Runway Event
The day features 4 distinct catwalk slots alongside an immersive lineup of live electronic music, art installations, and DJ sets.
Where: Maaya Berlin - RAW Gelände. Revaler Str. 99, 10245 Berlin. U-Bhf. Warschauerstr.
