House of Harem Show by Prince Emrah & Queerberg Collective

Welcome to the “House of Harem” Show by Prince Emrah & Queerberg collective.

Prince Emrah and Queerberg invite you to celebrate both queerness and the Middle Eastern culture in Berlin.

House of Harem is born out of necessity. A necessity of providing a shared space for LGBTQIA+ individuals of Muslim cultures. A space for absolute queer joy and solidarity. For us, it doesn't matter if people identify themselves as Muslim or not, who are born in Middle Eastern countries or live in Germany as a diaspora. We simply want to celebrate with artists who champion their icons, music, and culture.

Doors open: 20:00 

Show start: 22:00

Price: 15, 20, 25, 30 - Get your tickets on Eventbrite

Queerberg is a collective founded by House Of Royals. We are from so far different countries and cultures. It started with Refugee performers to give them space to express their Art, since it was hard for them because of variety of reasons such as language difficulties, racism etc... As a group of refugees, we also have a deep mental connection and understanding with each other, we bond over our trauma, since we have similar background. Although most of us lost their families, but we still have each other to support. And thanks to many places that support us and validate us, we've grown and come so far.
