Since the beginning of her stage career in 1985, Bridge Markland has moved virtuously between the genres of the performing arts. In dance, theater, cabaret and puppetry, she transcends the supposed boundaries between role-playing and transformation with ease.
In honor of her 40th stage anniversary, a two-day celebration is being held!
In a long film night at the AHA, videos, clips and trailers documenting their performances and shows since 1985 will be presented. Among other things, clips of her TV appearances with Lilo Wanders or Arabella Kiesbauer in the 90s, videos of her numerous classic in the box pieces, a best-of of previous go drag festivals and a cinematic reminiscence of one of her greatest performances as Somnambulist will be shown.
On Sunday, Bridge Markland will bring together long-time companions and international guests for a unique queens & kings drag and cabaret show in the Varieté Salon at ufaFabrik. Together with Bridge, Bleach Babychino, Buba Sababa, Dieter Rita Scholl, Lars Schwuchow, Nancy Nutter and Eve Beucher on the piano, among others, celebrate a brilliant party on stage.
Bridge Markland is a pioneer of drag and gender performance in Germany and initiated the successful go drag! Festival, which has been taking place at irregular intervals in various cities since 2002. With her classic in the box series, she takes up classic German theater material and has been performing it extremely successfully for many years as solos with role changes, puppets and popular music. Bridge tours Germany and Europe with her work and has also shown her short and full-length productions in the USA, Canada and Australia
Her extensive work also includes site-specific and interactive dance improvisations, audience interactions and interdisciplinary collaborations with international artists.
