About this Event
THIRD SEX: 1930s transvestite lieder [BEHIND THE LIEDER]
THIRD SEX: 1930s transvestite lieder is a found text song-cycle/punk cabaret based on the short stories, articles, poems, and personal essays of Das 3. Geschlecht, a transvestite magazine published in five issues from 1930-1932 in Berlin before n*zis burned its publishing house to the ground. The magazine was largely thought to be lost until it was rediscovered and reprinted in 2016. THIRD SEX brings these forgotten trans and queer narratives to life through an eclectic score inspired by the punk and experimental electronic scenes of the last 90 years while examining the queer experiences of the past, present, and future through our vivacious stories of survival.
This intimate concert will feature new songs and stories behind Das 3. Geschlecht and its articles. Come at 8:30 when the doors open for exclusive shopping hours.
