In the organizer's words:

QUEERHISTORYMONTH

QueerHistoryMonth will take place in Hamburg from May 1 to 31, 2025 (www.queerhistoryhamburg.de). Various events during the festival will bring the history(ies) of the queer community in Hamburg to life. Everyone is welcome - kings, queers, queens, allies, friends, families (of choice) and everyone in between and beyond!

EVENT

A literary-musical evening about love in difficult times

The program "Love in the Thirties..." tells of love stories, affairs and liaisons, but also persecution - especially of queer people - during the rise of National Socialism. Excerpts from "Love in Times of Hate" by Florian Illies about Marlene Dietrich, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Gustaf Gründgens, Josephine Baker and many others are combined with well-known chansons from the 1930s to create an impressive and emotional evening about love in difficult times. The stories about social diversity in the 1920s and its suppression by the Nazi regime are also a plea today for cohesion and the importance of protecting endangered minorities in our present day.

With Daniel Philipp Witte & Tim Stolte, singing & reading

The artist couple is also known to Hamburg's queer community as einhornkollektiv, founders of the PHŒNiX festival and creators of the "Forget me not" project about queer composers, which celebrated its Hamburg premiere at the Elbphilharmonie last year.

In their new program "Love in the Thirties..." they take us on a literary-musical journey into the 1930s.
