đ REVERBERATIONS: STAY IN THE DANCE
đ§ with Backpack Jesus a.k.a. Dan Eller Lemp
Friday, May 23rd, Backpack Jesus is taking us on a sonic journey where the rules are broken and the dance is tested.
Forget perfect transitions. Forget the seamless groove.
This is a night of musical curveballs, chunky transitions, weird textures, and beautiful resistance.
What if the music didnât carry you?
What if the beat dropped, and didnât come back right away?
What if the only way forward⊠was to stay in the dance anyway?
This evening is a living metaphor for those moments in life when the rhythm disappears:
You get the dream job â and the company folds.
You fall in love â and they walk away.
You leap across borders â and they slam shut.
đWhen everything flips â how do you keep dancing?
Backpack Jesus is spinning a set filled with music that defies the mold. Unpredictable. Cinematic. Emotionally raw. Sonic textures that demand presence, not autopilot.
This is not passive listening.
This is co-creation.
đ„ As dancers, we become the ritual.
đ„ The music responds to your commitment to stay.
đ„ Your dance becomes the spell that keeps the energy alive.
If you're not dancing â the music might stop.
And if you stay in it â who knows what you'll discover on the other side of discomfort?
đȘïž This isnât just an event. Itâs a dance with uncertainty.
Come stay with us in the in-between.
When you register, please include:
The title of a song you love
The name of the artist
You might be pleasantly surprised to hear your song woven into the evening.
This is a co-created night, and your music is part of the invitation.

đ REVERBERATIONS : RESTER DANS LA DANSE
Le vendredi 23 mai, Backpack Jesus nous invite Ă un voyage sonore oĂč les rĂšgles sont chamboulĂ©es et oĂč la danse est mise Ă lâĂ©preuve.
Oublie les transitions parfaites. Oublie les grooves linéaires.
Ce sera une nuit de virages musicaux inattendus, de textures rugueuses, de passages chaotiques â et de rĂ©sistance magnifique.
Et si la musique ne te portait plus ?
Et si le rythme tombait... et ne revenait pas tout de suite ?
Et si la seule façon dâavancer⊠était de rester dans la danse, malgrĂ© tout ?
Cette soirĂ©e est une mĂ©taphore vivante de ces moments oĂč la vie change brutalement :
đŒ Tu obtiens lâemploi rĂȘvĂ© â et lâentreprise fait faillite.
đ Tu vis une belle histoire â et la personne sâen va.
đ Tu traverses une frontiĂšre â et elle se referme.
đ Quand tout bascule â comment continuer Ă danser ?
Backpack Jesus proposera un set musical qui défie les formats.
đ¶ Imprevisible. CinĂ©matographique. Brute et chargĂ©e dâĂ©motions.
Des textures sonores qui demandent une vraie prĂ©sence â pas un pilote automatique.
Ce nâest pas une Ă©coute passive.
Câest une co-crĂ©ation.
đ„ En tant que danseur·euse·s, on devient le rituel.
đ„ La musique rĂ©pond Ă ton engagement Ă rester prĂ©sent·e.
đ„ Ta danse devient lâincantation qui maintient lâĂ©nergie vivante.
Si tu ne danses pas â la musique pourrait sâarrĂȘter.
Et si tu restes⊠qui sait ce que tu dĂ©couvriras de lâautre cĂŽtĂ© de lâinconfort ?
đȘïž Ce nâest pas juste un Ă©vĂ©nement. Câest une danse avec lâincertitude.
Viens rester avec nous dans lâentre-deux.
â ïž IMPORTANT ! Lors de ton inscription, merci dâenvoyer :
đ” Le titre dâune chanson que tu aimes
đ€ Le nom de lâartiste
Tu pourrais avoir la belle surprise dâentendre ta chanson intĂ©grĂ©e Ă la soirĂ©e !
Câest une soirĂ©e co-créée, et ta musique fait partie de lâinvitation.
