„To the dance, beautiful child. Only those who dare, win“, as the folk song OH, KATHARINA goes. The cramped pub of an inn, like the ones that can be found all over the Austrian countryside. The music plays, drunk couples dance sluggishly. In their midst, two women twirl in a circle. At first it seems like a game, but then something happens between them. The grip on each other’s waists tightens, their looks become more sincere and even demanding. They find a new familiarity in each other, while the other guests only want to see what is foreign to them.

This stands in stark contrast to the gym where the Munich Monks train. Rugby is a rough contact sport, but it is when the gay players open up to each other that it becomes really touching. They talk about their lives, which couldn’t be more different, and yet their experiences are similar. They find their strength in their team sport, both mentally and physically. (OUTSIDE CENTRE)

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere stands the abandoned parental home of one of the three ROBBERS. Between heavy, old wooden furniture and surrounded by protective but also isolating walls, a refuge is created in which binary role models are questioned and broken up.

In our Queer programme, we create a space for seven stories to unfold freely.
