EARTHQUAKE

Is it a vaudeville show? Α concert; A confessional manifesto? A panel interview around a big table, broadcasted on a public network? An awards ceremony where no one shows up to receive the award? An official premiere that perpetually repeats itself?

It is certainly a bone-shaking, seismic performance, bringing together trans femininities, non-binary people, fat bodies, immigrants, and sex workers on stage so that they can sing the hate speech they’ve suffered just cause they are who they are.

“This “Earthquake” takes the Upper Stage of the Onassis Stegi to cause that rift in which hormone therapies, resident permit paperwork, OnlyFans, cheesy love songs, lost virginities, Albanian wide foreheads, gender identities, police identity cards, dom tops, submissive bottoms, love migrants, conversion therapies, crash diets, pronouns, Grindr, trash TV culture, and make-up tutorials. A set of experiences which reminds us that, contrary to the dominant narrative that things are getting better year by year, the pain might remain the same when you grow up as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in a country that systematically cultivates racism and all types of phobic behavior towards the brightest and most fearless individuals.
