Paskudnik

/ Performance / 16+ yrs / German + Polish Subtitles / zeitraumexit @ T6/18 / 

Post-migrant drag persona, Polish-German remembrance-culture and queer whispers: Tubi Malcharzik and team search in “Paskudnik” for the gap in the family memory. A word that often left the grandfather's lips to call for his grandchild. There is no direct translation for the word “Paskudnik”. Between dinnertable, an Upper Silesian family gathering and the user interface of a dating app the performance touches on questions of gender roles, sexuality, anti-slawism and queerness.
