COME OR DIE – A double bill on politics and sex
Grüner Salon goes stand-up comedy! This time with a mash-up of two different takes on politics and sex! The double bill features New Zealand comedian Anna Beros and her latest show, THE DEVIL IN MISS BEROS. A show on how the past – meaning the raunchiest, sexiest, most feminist vintage porn movie of all time – has shaped her sexual journey. A lighthouse of the English-speaking comedy scene in Berlin, she will take you from her past to the present while making her biggest sexual fantasies come to life. What could be more political than a woman coming under the influence of self-taught freedom?
At the other end of the night, the self-proclaimed EXPERT BY IDENTITY will premiere their latest dark stand-up show, PREGNANCY KINK – Of Death, Dick & Disease, highlighting the next chapter in the comedian’s life: while the world falls from one armed conflict to the next, straight people still procreate? How is it possible! For the non-binary performer that begs explosive questions: Are bombs falling the perfect soundscape for sex dates? How can STIs be used for self-defense? And what will happen to daddies, if the patriarchy is finally falling? From the front lines of our current conflicts, they present a show on queer family, nostalgia, and war: How can we laugh in this present?
This comedy double-bill will not only joke on the entanglement of sex and politics but reshape the way you view past and present conflicts, while catapulting you laughing into a future that is yet to exist! Are you ready to COME OR DIE?
