april 14–23

For the fourth and final time, Sophiensæle presents the popular spring festival series Queer Darlings, bringing old and new favorites to Berlin. The works of local and international artists deal with personal and socio-political moments of change, transformation, crisis and transition(s). To do so, they overwrite folk dances and narratives, fairy tales and myths from a queer perspective to create humorous, immersive, sensual and imaginative stage worlds beyond binary norms – and celebrate the potential of queer imagination for new visions of coexistence.  

With Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, Cade & MacAskill, Sorour Darabi, Astrit Ismaili, Liz Rosenfeld, a.o. Curation/Dramaturgy Lena Kollender, Mateusz Szymanówka Production Dramaturgy Wolfram Sander Production Management Francesca Spisto
