What it's all about

"Queere Revolution" is a participatory theater project based on the novel "Lavender Sword" by queer, Cologne author Felix Rexhausen (1932-1992). Published in 1966, it describes the beginning of a "homosexual revolution", which, however, fails due to the lack of solidarity and dogmatic approach of its protagonists: “What we should succeed in doing, we do not succeed in doing."

Why should you come? 

A good 60 years later, the Produktionsbüro Petra P., together with queer experts, their different biographies and experiences, is taking a journey back in time to the beginnings of the queer emancipation movement: they follow the traces of the struggle for queer self-determination up to the present day and ask: Does "We Are Family" still apply to today's highly differentiated queer community? Do we still stand together against exclusion and discrimination? Or has the "we-feeling," the lubricant of every good revolution, become nothing more than a way for individual queer bubbles to coexist?


A co-production of the Produktionsbüro Petra P. with the “Freie Werkstatt Theater” and “Sommerblut Kulturfestival”.
