Fierce in Eastern-Europe

22 May 2015

Giant Marx-head, female wigs and high heels, patriarchal scenery and wild performance.

The one-night show approaches gender and national identities with a free and energetic critique. The core of the event is a movie shot in the summer of 2014 by János Brückner, Máté Fillér and Ottó Szabó with Pepper, Portland (US) –based drag queen (kpepper.net). One of the outcomes of their intensive cooperation is the short movie ‘Fierce in Eastern Europe’ which follows a trip by Pepper’s performance through the night in Chemnitz and Budapest. It gives an insight into Pepper’s world, which is discussing the critique of the Eastern-European environment and gender stereotypes.

After the premiere of the movie all this enters the physical world of the audience via the performance of Sissy Strapon and the party afterwards. Short movie and performance in English.

Hosts: Ms. Pepper Pepper (drag queen) and Sissy Strapon (performer), Ms. Pepper Pepper, Sissy Strapon, János Brückner, Máté Fillér
