De-Domestication
by Daniel Hellmann & Rafa Bqueer
Two queer drag beings – a cow from the Alps and a panther from the Amazon – meet in a world that has fallen out of balance. Amid monocultures, cattle breeding, and colonial violence, the stage becomes a projection surface for rewilding and resistance. The two artists create a multimedia, ritual spectacle that reveals global connections between agriculture, racism, and ecocide – poetic, political, provocative. A celebration of transformation, freedom, and the power of queer imagination.
