FROM AHEAD OUR TIME - (Un)Learning Distances - Showing
Paweł Świerczek & Julia Nitschke
FROM AHEAD OF OUR TIME:
Have you ever wondered how to act when you meet a lesbian? Or where you can meet a lesbian? Do you want to hear a Silesian priest preach about bees that can give virgin birth? Are you ready to shed a tear over the sad and beautiful story of Antek and Janek? Become part of our very special extravaganza and expect the unexpected.
“From Ahead Our Time” is an invitation to dive deep into the queer archival material of the Ruhr and Silesia. Through drag and burlesque, we embody our common queer ancestors and their stories. And bring our self-selected family together.
