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.

He is one of the most frequently performed composers, both in concert and opera. At the same time, Richard Strauss’ closeness to the Nazi regime is undisputed. How can we deal with this legacy? We discuss this with experts and the artistic team of FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN.

WUNDERKAMMER: IM PRINZIP HOFFNUNG I
A few metres away from the bust of Nefertiti lies an astonishing piece of writing. Its contents from the time of Ancient Egypt could not be more topical: The social order is compromised, interpersonal relationships are disintegrating, and the period is also characterised by wars and climatic crises.
