UNGEHEUER!
Thur 17. 04. 2025
Stadtwerkstatt Linz
Start: Maindeck, 19:30
Monsters of the queer scene from Linz and Vienna unite their anger at the patriarchal structures of a society in which they otherwise only appear in the shadows and lack safe spaces. Outrageous!
In order to emphasise their visibility, various collectives and artists can be seen on stage, expressing themselves in different forms of staging.
Their diverse forms of struggle will be celebrated in a monster drag show on this evening.
The event is curated by Mika Bankomat & Eric BigClit.
All Particiants:
Topster and Freddie are researching the increasingly rampant disease of toxic masculinity in their experimental set-up. Can they develop a vaccine before it's too late? They have developed a pioneering concept for this ground-breaking basic research. In the service of science, they do not even shy away from self-experimentation.
Penelope Ness: Spring is here! Come frolic in a place where every day is gay with Penelope Ness.
Philipp Filét: ‘As agile as quicksilver, as clueless as a sleeper in a furniture store - Philipp Filet is a worn-out journeyman. As soon as you shake his hand, he wants to wrap himself round your little finger. ‘Yes, Philipp doesn't do anything clever because he can only do stupid things,’ his mum tells us.’
Harri Hack: ‘Breading takes precedence over manners and anything goes anyway,’ rejoices Harri Hack, the delicatessen cutlet already tucked under his arm. Decency? ‘To whom?“’
Necrosis is a drag newcomer and political activist. Since 30 May, he has been shaking up the Viennese drag scene with his vocal performances. For Necrosis, drag is revolutionary because he not only transforms himself - he also challenges the status quo. Drag is his way of turning politics into a performance and giving space to those who cannot be silenced.
Sal Valentino + Band: Sal Valentino is a young king from Linz with a penchant for fine threads, black spray and live music. He has been on stage for almost 2 years now, always supported by his band, consisting of Pablo on guitar and Nathan on keyboards.
M.C.Monster* is a queer-feminist media club that approaches the fantastic genre - especially horror - from a theoretical, aesthetic and political perspective. Founded in 2024 by Linz-based artists Judith Gattermayr, Rebekka Hochreiter and Melanie Ludwig, M.C.Monster* sees itself as a collective experiment between art, theory and activism.
Perchta* collective: As FLINTA* collective, we shake up the structures of traditional customs and drive patriarchy out of them. In doing so, we appropriate monstrous attributions and create new narratives from them. We proudly show our fur, our claws, teeth and cunts. We take up public space. We are loud, uncomfortable, fluffy, solidary, wild. Be aware!
Eric BigClit (moderation) is Drag King / Monster. As a genderfluid being, he spreads glitter & fluid queer on stage through all fields of art. From drag, rap, wrestling, comedy, readings, hosting & event organisation - Eric is a walking miniverse.
