Saturday 24th of June, 21.00: Parade of Roses – a karaoke night by VASKOS
May roses are the most beautiful! Nevertheless even before the weather gets hots, no matter how beautiful they are, they start to wither. Roses are the secret symbols of homoeroticism. Before they wither, roses sing, dance, dress up, shout out. Parody is there strategy, pose is their form, they adore grandeur and the ridiculous. They learn how to survive.
Vaskos’ performance is a musical performance, camp, with video-karaoke, pop references, a queer strategy for survival.
With: Leto Messini, Vasilis Noulas, Kostas Tzimoulis.
