Queer Fest was great. It was dominated a lot by international artists which was cool, performers from Danemark and the states... and some local acts but i would liked to have seen more, but since i,ll be here for a year i got plenty of time. Film night was good, but it just made me want to screen "Chillout With The Matchbox Boys", so i,m going to look into it. Spicey Tigers on Speed are a performance troupe from Berlin and they where great. lots of pink vibes... Saturday night was xTrash Freeex Kaberet, being a fan of trash. i had a blast!
Then Sunday we went to Premiere of The Opera "Iphigenie auf Tauris" .. and i hereby vow to never go to the operea without researching the story because i had no idea what was going on... of course i could figure some parts out but i missed out on all the subtleties. But it was the story of two men who love each other so much they fight over who will die for the other, so the story was queer and therefore so was the crowd! there was a queer couple dressed in matching fabulous pink and frilly dress. It was good to see opera in sung Deutsch and the props where pretty amazing, it was heavily war themed and made blatant references to US troops scandel of torture, this was very cool. BUt so graffic with blood and realistic props that i felt quite queasy and uncomfortable... but i guess war is never "comfortable".
