What we should succeed at, that's exactly what eludes us
Co-production Production Office Petra P., Sommerblut Cultural Festival & FWT
Recommended age: 14 years and older
A participatory theater project based on the novel "Lavendelschwert" (1966) by the Cologne author Felix Rexhausen, who describes the attempt of a "homosexual revolution." In 2024, the Production Office Petra P. together with queer experts embark on a journey back to the beginning of the queer emancipation movement and ask: Does "We Are Family" still apply to today's community, or is there only a coexistence of queer bubbles now?
Funded by the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne
The rights to the novel "Lavendelschwert" belong to Männerschwarm, Salzgeber Buchverlage GmbH.
Nominated for the Cologne Theater Prize and the prize of the Sommerblut Foundation 2024
