- **Event Name**: Love as an Act of Being – A Lecture Performance by Lisa Stertz
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Jul, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: SomoS Arts is pleased to announce the Love as an Act of Being – a lecture performance by Berlin-based artist and performer Lisa Stertz.

Lisa Stertz returns to SomoS with a new edition of her seminal work on love, first presented in 2015. Titled Love as an Act of Being. The evening will reflect on the enduring and ever-evolving question: What is love?

Drawing inspiration from Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, which highlights the paradox between love’s immense promise and its frequent failure, Stertz revisits her earlier inquiries into love not as a fleeting emotion or ideal, but as a living, human activity—something to be practised, embodied, and lived.

The event marks the 10th anniversary of Stertz’s seminal original performance series and will combine spoken word, live performance, movement, and photo documentation. Through these media, Stertz opens a space for reflection and experience, encouraging the audience to see love as a resilient force, one that continues to deserve our presence and commitment.

About the artist: 
Lisa Stertz is an artist and educator working at the intersection of performance and healing. With a background in media, philosophy, and art, she bridges critical inquiry with embodied creation. Drawn to movement-based practices, Lisa has journeyed through disciplines such as Butoh, Baguazhang, and Dervish Whirling. In 2018, she began developing The Body Within — her own approach to awareness and performance. Since 2022, she has been sharing the ritual dance of the dervishes through her Berlin Whirling workshops. Lisa produces, performs, and teaches across Europe and Asia, and currently lives in Berlin.
