Queer Family Album is a trans-disciplinary festival that highlights and feeds
itself by collaborative efforts from diverse groups of queer artists. Our
performance series strives to break barriers and imagine utopias for queer
futurities by using a performance-based methodology for queer trans-
disciplinary storytelling. In 2024 our first Volume of Queer Family Album is
taking place at Ballhaus Ost, featuring world premieres from KAy Garnellen
and Yvonne Sembene.

Queer Family Album is a diverse group of queer artists that are ever-changing and collaborating to present work and create a morphing space of care where we dare to forge queer futurities today.

The notorious DIY theater group made up of ugly puppets and beautiful
people embarks on a feverish journey through time to Berlin in the 90s.
It tells the myth-laden story of an idyll in which the spirit of the future had already
future had already taken up residence unrecognized. In the walk-through production
visitors experience a fable full of slapstick and wordplay with lots of live music and
live music and performances.

In »Helmitropolis«, Das Helmi is working with a particularly large and diverse ensemble. In addition to the video collective Institut für experimentelle Angelegenheiten and the performer Tania Elstermeyer, amSTARt – Impressario Ran Huber, the musician Fee Kürten, Michael Wittsack from the Rambazamba Theater and the long-term unemployed theatre group Enttäusche Mich! are also involved.
