The QUEER MUSEUM VIENNA says goodbye for the summer break with a brilliant evening and a great programme. We are celebrating the end of the exhibition “Breaks, Gaps, Leaps – Queer Temporalities”. Celebrate with us and celebrate yourselves! We warmly welcome everyone! Together we are many, together we are more!

Danielle Pamp turns back the hands of time with songs that range from vaudeville and operetta to the hits of the 1930s. With beautiful melancholy and pride, her singing evokes a bygone era, representing identities and personalities whose existence and biographies have all too often been forgotten. Queer narratives unfold via historical references and with them a new historiography and visibility. A performance as enchanting as it is existential.

Dan Dansen: ‘”To my ancestors. Trans* Formations in Space and Time’ sets out in search of trans* ancestry in early Europe. What did trans* life look like before the Age of Enlightenment? The performance creates a ritual to invoke the lost trans* ancestors of Europe and combines plants, video installation and performance to create an immersive narrative!

TJ Tall (he/they) makes soca and dancehall music that fucks with norms and frees waistlines—spiritually, sexually, unapologetically. Their music is liberation in action: breaking from the chains of heteronormativity and respectability, and embracing love, community and freedom. Vienna’s experimental scene does its thing; TJ Tall does his. Introspective anthems like ‘Mama I’m Grown’ serve as the manifesto: ‘Better let me live my truth / As I let you do the same.’ For the gays, the freaks, and anyone who’s ever been called ‘abomination’ over a riddim. No hiding. No apologies. 

Just win[n]ing.
