READING—A POEM TO EVERYONE I FUCKED BEFORE AND ONE FOR MYSELF
Cody Ellis Kluge (they/them)

The poetry collection A POEM TO EVERYONE I FUCKED BEFORE AND ONE FOR MYSELF was created as part of a research project on sexual self-empowerment at Pathos Theater (Munich). It sees itself as a feminist reappraisal of a spectrum of personal experiences, juxtaposing stories of falling in love, trauma and desire. By retrospectively looking back on growing up in a patriarchal society, the question arises as to how an expression of one’s own queer identity can be found if one has not been taught to formulate it. In this sense, it is also meant as a way of saying goodbye to the norms and ideas associated with female socialization.

PERFORMANCE—Moon Playlist /外国的月亮比较圆吗？
Kai Er Eng, Goh Shou Yi and Raymond Liew

Three dancers collect moon songs and open a discussion about whether the moon is rounder on the other side. They bring personal items to the studio and puzzle over what has been absorbed through their bodies. The discussion revolves around their artistic paths, which include dance education, games, cultural differences, and yin-yang energy.

Both Kai Er Eng and Raymond Liew live in Hamburg and were part of the residency program at K3|Tanzplan Hamburg in 22/23 and 18/19.
Kai Er opens a Lollipop Club – a dance/circus apparatus which consists of a hoop on top of a pole. https://kaifishfish.tumblr.com
