Queerberg Soli party – 3rd Anniversary with All Stars Refugee performers

Drag Cinderella

Once upon a time, a couple of Queens arrived in Berlin and started a House. To be specific, in 2018, your fav QT*BIPOC refugee collective started to gather to bring some queer magic into the Berlin club scene. For our third anniversary, we have prepared a fairy tale show full of dance, drag and color and we warmly invite all of you Quings and Queens to celebrate life and pride with us. Join us for the Ball on 30th October in Oyoun.

We love to share and tell stories and the story of choice will be Cinderella – but be assured, we will do it our way. To celebrate our story of a community with you, we prepared a non-classical and very special drag show you won’t forget.

Needless to say, Cinderella in our case is not white as we are manipulated to think by white media and film productions. Obviously, she will also not be cis nor straight and for this reason, she will not lose a shoe, but a wig on the ball which will not be thrown for boring upper-class straight princes and princesses.

Our performers will spoil you with Oriental Dance, Burlesque, Bollywood performances, Drag Shows and music: Charming Prens Emrah from Turkmenistan, Keil Li Divõn from Libya, Lady Zina and Dalaa al-Sham from Palestine, Julie Dancer and Suryani Mahmood from Malaysia and Roman Queen Patricia. Our special guest performers will be drag king Buba Sababa, dancer and sex worker Odiseo and the magnificent non-binary refugee activist and drag performer Shayma Del Queer who will travel the long way from Heidelberg to our castle of choice, Oyoun. Come and indulge into the comfort of imagination fairy tales hold but make them more colorful, more political and, of course, much more queer with us.
