How gay was Goethe? And how about the queerness of his fellow stars of the German enlightenment and early romantic period? This docu-drama is a playful, eccentric and imaginative foray into the history of queerness in the Weimar Klassik.
I supported the research and writing process from 2016, co-managed the set and the costume-workshop on the shoots 2016 and 2017. I perform in various singing, dancing and speaking roles.
