KRAKE FESTIVAL is a Berlin based festival for challenging electronic music, organized by the Killekill crew. Krake means octopus and the festival is organised in a comparable way: Over the coarse of a week it spreads across various locations. KRAKE is not about genres or hype, it’s about music, that dares to step off the beaten track, about surprising performances and a down-to-earth attitude, far off the mainstream.

THAT’S DRAG EXTRAVAGANZA AT MUENCHNER KAMMERSPIELE

With: Drag Syndrome (UK), Rocky Black, Pinay Colada, Earl van Grey, KingTenu and Victoria Hell

Drag is imaginative transformation. It’s about freedom, diversity and, above all, creative self-empowerment for everyone.

The kings and queens of Drag Syndrome embody all this and so much more. The world’s first drag group with trisomy 21 is taking it by storm. One hundred thousand followers on Instagram can lie, not this time. Their performance at the All Abled Arts Festival in January was completely sold out. But here’s a second chance: Drag Syndrome are bringing their art to Munich again - with even more glitz and glamor. On this evening, the collective will be joined by a newborn drag king: Rocky Black will give Munich back what the city’s nightlife has been missing for decades: a Freddy Mercury feel.

Whether Earl van Grey will perform as a shady creature, an iron angel or a mystical Pierrot - the Munich drag artist is still keeping that a secret. What is certain is that Pinay Colada will lead the evening as the fruity-sweet hostess.

At the same time, the show will be interpreted into DGS by sign language interpreter Elisabeth Brichta.
Afterwards we will celebrate together, what else?

C/O Pop Festival, Köln Germany

Drag Syndrome is the world's first and only collective of drag queens and kings with Down syndrome. Since its foundation in London in 2018, the group has inspired millions of people from Canada to Mexico, from Finland to Spain. In Norway, emotional fans even overran the stage at the end of the show. Drag Syndrome are known for their infectious, joyful and innovative interpretation of drag and performance art. Each Drag Syndrome artist has developed their own distinctive style. With androgynous "genderfuck" styling and DIY outfits, this style is inspired by avant-garde performance art rather than Broadway revues. At the same time, drag is always political as a rebellion against society.

Queer Festival - Germany

May 5th is the European Day of Protest for Equality for People with Disabilities. Together with the city of Heidelberg, we would like to use the festival opening as an opportunity to focus on the experiences and topics of queer people with disabilities. Following a short panel discussion, we have a collective as guests that we have wanted to bring to our festival stage for a long time. We are proud and happy that it finally works this year and that we have the large new hall of the Karlstorbahnhof available:

London based Drag Syndrome is the first professional drag collective of artists with Down Syndrome. Founded in London in March 2018, the group brings glamor and glitter to numerous stages around the world. The versatility of the performers dispels prejudices about life with Down syndrome and shows lively artistic personalities with expressive sexual identities and their own ambitions. 

Welcome speeches are given by Lord Mayor Prof. Dr. Eckart Würzner, Danijel Cubelic, Head of the Office for Equal Opportunities of the City of Heidelberg, the Managing Director of the Karlstorbahnhof Cora Maria Malik and the Queer Festival initiators Martin JV Müller and Dominic Hauser.

Under the title "Bodily Autonomies", the vernissage of this year's international photo exhibition will take place after the program in the hall in the headquarters of Karlstorbahnhof. With a drink and appetizers, the chairman of the jury, Frederik Busch, will give a brief introduction to the works on display.

Limited capacity, register at anmeldung@karlstorbahnhof.de

Please also let us know what kind of support you need: Do you need an induction hearing system for hearing support or do you need sign language or speech-to-text interpreters? Do you need a rest room? Would you like to be picked up at the building entrance and taken to the function room? Do you have other support needs? We would be happy to clarify whether and how we can enable you to participate!
