Denice Bourbon takes the audience for a ride through her part of the history of the Viennese queer art and party scene: butts on fire, flopping mermaids, and really bad performance ideas that should never have been allowed on stage. What do you do with all those bad cringy memories of failing miserably? You turn them into comedy!

Together with young Afghan and Iraqi men, the images of masculinity were examined. Those that are a source of friction for them, but also those that are presented to them from the outside. Being here means living in peace, but the war inside is still present. This piece is about the desire to live at peace with oneself and others. It is about trauma and dream, healing and hurt, anger and forgiveness.

Charity concert by the Iraqi artist Kiri and his band on "Langer Tag der Flucht".

The STELLA is the first national award for special achievements in the field of performing arts for young audiences in Austria and was established in 2007 by ASSITEJ Austria. Since then, the outstanding children's and youth productions of the previous season have been presented every year as part of the STELLA festival. In 2022, STELLA will take place in Vienna for the fourth time in cooperation with the Burgtheater, the Dschungel Wien and the WUK.
