The stage is Yours!
***
This year’s performance night promises poetry, pop, karaoke, drag and trash aboard a former lightship. The deck transforms into lava, dumpster kittens meet horny dogs, queer sailors listen to a weeping accordion, and as the ship slowly sinks, someone makes a fiery declaration of love. On board: Giulia Essyad, Nils Amadeus Lange and Mario Espinoza, Lorena Cipriano, Isam Abad Montalvo, Lelah Neary and Nelly Hächler, Dumpster Kittens.

Giulia Essyad
Beloved
Part spoken poem, part AMA (ask me anything), Beloved blends poetry and improvisation with questions from the audience.
Nils Amadeus Lange and Mario Espinoza
Near, Far, Wherever you are
Nils Amadeus Lange and Mario Espinoza reinterpret the ordinary, almost automatic pop-culture reference of anyone who stands on a ship's bow. Come sink with us!
Lorena Cipriano
la pelle è un organo
A breathing accordion. Il vento, il mare. Where are we and when? Lorena Cipriano searches for memories that aren’t anymore or ever. La pelle è un organo deals with the performative power of assertion. The appropriation of the organetto, approaching the instrument, queering the accordion. How is belonging (being) performed?
Isam Abad Montalvo
hips don't lie – el oráCULO
The floor is lava. The club is closing. The music echoes through our muscles. Our hearts are aching. Karaoke is a full-body experience, a juicy, vulnerable journey through sensuality, playfulness and longing.
Lelah Neary and Nellie Hächler
Top Dog
Sexual prowess, a belittling indifference towards others and a disgusting obsession with self-optimization… introducing: Top Dog. An alpha male with the spirit animal of a horny chihuahua.
Dumpster Kittens
