About event
Images of queer collaboration are created with strength, tenderness and the potential of three-way constellations as well as through physical retraining of reflexes. Bodies connect and initiate an interweaving with gentle, precarious collisions and risky touch strategies.
With time and in peace, possible reactions are processed and the physical, emotional and relational effects are traced in order to get closer to the truth.
In the face of cultural, social and political regression, this work is a flaming call to action from the community as well as an exercise in survival, is a balm and hymn to queer love equally.
Artistic concept, performance: Makisig Akin, Anya Cloud

With strength, tenderness and the potential of threes, as well as through physical retraining of reflexes, images of queer collaboration are created. Bodies connect and set in motion an intertwining with gentle, precarious collisions and risky touching strategies.
With time and calm, possible reactions are processed and the physical, emotional and relational effects are traced in order to get closer to the truth.
In the face of cultural, social and political setbacks, this work is a passionate call to action by the community, as well as an exercise in survival, a balm and a hymn to queer love in equal measure.
