TRIGGER: Addiction/Cocaine addiction
CONTENT NOTE: Stroboscopes and loud music at Hafenklang

Club Energía invites you to an all-inclusive journey. Through the Port of Hamburg all the way to the El Cerrejón coal mine in La Guajira, northern Colombia. Past Colombia’s coca plantations and finally into the pulsating nightlife of a major German city in the summer. Cocaine, coal, capital. How do you get pumped up?

Millions of metric tons of coal leave northern Colombia on large ships to supply Germany’s coal-fired power plants with energy. Every day, thousands of people in Hamburg snort what Colombian farmers have produced for them: cocaine. Two energy kicks, one name.

A performative harbor tour awaits you, taking you to the coal port along retraced coke routes, before finally washing up in the depths of the club’s bass beats at Hafenklang. Global interdependencies, the sacred coca plant, indigenous culture, colonization and displacement, as well as crime and activism. A story of a failed coal phase-out and high-energy parties caught between activism and hedonism.

Spanish:

Club Energía invites you on an all-inclusive journey. Through the Port of Hamburg to the El Cerrejón mine in La Guajira (Colombia). Passing through Colombia’s coca plantations and, finally, on to the vibrant nightlife of a major German city in the summer. Cocaine, coal, capital. Are you up for it?

Millions of metric tons of coal leave northern Colombia on large ships to supply energy to Germany’s coal-fired power plants. Every day, thousands of Hamburg residents inhale what Colombian farmers have produced for them: coke. Two energy highs, one German name.

A performative journey through the port. Global dependencies, the sacred coca plant, Indigenous culture, colonization and displacement, as well as crime and activism. A story about the failed coal exit and energy-fueled parties caught in the tension between activism and hedonism.
