Olympia Bukkakis: Queer and Present Dangers/Sex – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Olympia Bukkakis:
Queer and Present Dangers/Sex

Queer and Present Dangers/Sex
English
Frantic claims that some sex is “real” or that some sex is “bad” are flying thick and fast these days. But what is sex? What histories are we invoking when we use this word? And should we all have sex together right now?
Queer and Present Dangers is an experimental talk show series by Olympia Bukkakis that tackles the hard hitting, soft tickling, and wet slapping issues of our times. For this edition the topic is SEX and we'll be joined by Melanie Jame Wolf and Jules Joanne Gleeson who will help Olympia throw the show together in one day. Expect silly diatribes, serious conversations, refined lip syncs and hot performances.
