SISTER SYLVESTER'S GOOD GENES

Allow us to serve you a cocktail made of DNA.

Attend Good Genes and make your own genetically modified cocktail party. With live music and using DNA from a hat worn – and never washed – by the actors in Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble, Sister Sylvester presents a bio-art cabaret where the work takes place in the audience’s small intestine. A thorough celebration of thieves, biohackers, and cannibals, Good Genes sheds worn out scientific narrative and turns them into a science for the people.
