Humans are the only creatures in the Universe that can measure something that doesn’t exist. Join us on an exploration of gender-bending and fluidified self-expression of diverse identities. Enter the School of Unlearning, and register for the applied program on simultaneously coexisting binarities and non-binarities.
Free entry | The performance is in English, with English surtitle. Following, a talk back with the audience. | Due to the limited number of places available, please fill out the booking form.
The scenario is based on interviews with diverse gender marker Berliners working for public institutions and/or public service, mainly in Berlin Mitte. The research is an investigation built by and about non-binary people and the pressures of passing, of manipulating themselves or others, and the compromises involved in the delicate daily process of authentic self-representation versus self-censorship to gain social acceptability.
Team: Romain Frequency, Bogdan Georgescu, Alberto Orlandi, Fede Partinico, Patrycja Toczek.
When: 12th and 13th December 2024 – 19.30 | Where: OTTO am Haus der Statistik, Otto-Braun-Straße 72, 10178 Berlin.
dramaqueer is an international performing arts platform dedicated to non-conforming gender theatre makers. The scenarios for the performance are created and developed in various workshops, using observational, documentary, devised, biographical, or any other forms of queer theatre.
The website is a sharing space for fragments of the plays, information on the authors, interviews, documentary materials, and other sources used in the creation of the plays.
Through observation and self-observation, auto-representation, reflection, and auto-fiction we create plays written by non-conforming gender theatre authors. We build characters, situations, positive conflicts, and resolutions, bringing to stage the queer theatre.
