CUMA-Kollektiv // Inside Out

"Excuse me?". The Brazilian expression "Cuma" is derived from this question. Meaning: a brief moment of irritation - in which the unexpected can happen! This is precisely what the CUMA collective is looking for in its art. For spaces that are not yet defined. The three international performers - who met at Folkwang University - bring physical theater and concert together in a captivating way. As in the case of INSIDE OUT, a combination of live music and drag performance. With glitter and show. And at the same time a keen eye for the obstacles in queer lives. Both internal and external. The basic question of INSIDE OUT: How do we give each other a feeling of security and closeness when the patterns and labels of mainstream society no longer work? Following the highly acclaimed work VACATION FROM LOVE, the CUMA collective once again demonstrates how critical reflection can merge into pleasurable spectacle.
