ASAP HEARTBREAK

It settles over you like a shadow — slow, heavy, and at times unexpectedly tender.

You may search for distractions, for ways to slip out from under the shock.
But still it turns toward you, and sooner or later, it finds you again.

And then, sometimes, there is a kind of acceptance: an opening, a breath, the cautious beginning of something new.

Heartbreak is something we all know. It connects us, yet it remains a deeply intimate, personal experience. But what does it mean? What does it have to mean? What are the non-normative experiences of grief and loss?

Within its collective familiarity lives pain, anger, maybe even relief — the sense of being back at the beginning, having to find yourself again, or reinvent yourself entirely.
A universal experience with a universal force, connecting us in what it means to be human. In the end, we all must let go.

With the eleventh edition of ASAP HEARTBREAK — MULTIDISCIPLINARY FESTIVAL,
we hope to approach the wavy, disorienting currents — as individuals, together — through music, theatre, visual art, film, and community spaces. Bar Pilar will be our safe heaven, as ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ as a space for comfort, reflection and creativity.

Come & feel with us.
