Togetherhood refers to Leibniz's „Monadology“, in which Leibniz explains that everything is interconnected. At the same time, according to Leibniz, there are small units that are self-contained - but as units are part of a multitude. The silver blanket with its 20 hoods, under which the participants slip, thus becomes a collective body that, like the faceted eye of a fly, allows the gaze to wander in different directions. Togetherhood brings to life the ambivalence between microscopic perception and a multi-faceted overview on current issues in the social-urban space in reference to Leibniz's reflections. Togetherhood is realized in collaboration with the Hanover Homeless Choir and choreographer Bettina Paletta, at three sites offering the opportunity to "swap hoods", i.e. to change under the silver blanket, to spectators following the parade.

With Togetherhood, transparadiso stages a parade of silence: Pausing, marveling, stillness, resting, digressing into oneself. The silver blanket stimulates a macro-utopian space in multiplicity, in which the "glass ceiling" of power structures and social inequality is questioned and future fictions of communities can be explored - across borders, despite all the conflicts that currently determine our society and the world.
