The next Social Muscle Club Edition is curated by Santiago Blaum and Arturo Lugo.
 The curators statement: ‘Join us as we spice up the giving and receiving at the next Social Muscle Club with some Latin flavours from the future! Inspired by the music of Mexican composer Esquivel, we'll try to turn sound into space and space into sound, claiming the right to reimagine the future from a non-hegemonic perspective. What good is sitting alone in your room? / Come hear the music play / What good's permitting some prophet of doom / To wipe every smile away? / Life is a cabaret, old chum / Come to the cabaret / Life is a cabaret, old chum / Mañana is today!' Santiago&Arturo.
The Social Muscle Club performance gathering is alive since many years already. As any living creature, it changes, evolves, involves and metamorphoses itself according to the times and the plurality of the people involved. 
Building on the memories and spirit of the phenomenal curators and performers from last year,  Social Muscle Club returns to the Heizhaus, Uferstudios, in full swing, presenting 4 editions in 2024.
Club 1, February 16: Tatiana Saphir Club 2, April 26: Santiago Blaum and Arturo Lugo Club 3, September 13: Grayson Millwood Club 4, November 8: Nir de Volff
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
