Ocaña, Queen of The Ramblas
Ocaña, Queen of The Ramblas
Ocaña was an artist, rebel and drag queen, whose life and work made a mark far beyond Barcelona and Spain, which at the time was beginning to free itself from the rigidity of a patriarchal, authoritarian regime of General Franco.
We celebrate Ocaña’s 75th birthday on 24 March 2022 and two more performances with Joan Vázquez as the queer icon and Marc Sambola, guitar, in a guest performance of the successful production of our Catalan co-producers OBNC, directed by Marc Rosich.

TOXIC LOVE SONGS:
JUDITH UND BLAUBART
TOXIC LOVE SONGS:
JUDITH UND BLAUBART
Zwei Menschen stehen sich in aller Verletzlichkeit gegenüber, eine Sängerin und ein Sänger. Im Zentrum: das dunkle Märchen von Herzog Blaubart und seine Opernversion von Béla Bartók. Darin die verschlossenen sieben Türen. Was liegt dahinter verborgen? Was Blaubart verstecken will, will Judith entdecken, aufdecken, enthüllen und lässt dabei die Stimmen verstummter Frauen zum Leben erwachen. So werden Blaubarts Türen nicht durch seine Waffen, seine Folter, Macht oder Trauer definiert, sondern durch die Selbstentäußerungen, Schaffenskraft, Freude und Größe fast vergessener Frauen.

LISAS LAND DES LÄCHELNS
“Yours is my whole heart, where you are not, I cannot be…” – Can you still say (sing) that today if you are serious about love?

Schöner Wohnen
Berlin’s apartment is being fragmented, divided, quartered and, from a hipsters side, drawing nearer to the state that used to be the setting of the metropolis of the 1920s. Focussing the history of the Berlin tenement such as the „Richardsburg“ a satirical living theatre is staged – with elements from slapstick, songs, dance and scenes.
