FLAMING FLAMINGOS
part 3 of NOUVELLE BURLESQUE BRUTAL
FLAMING FLAMINGOS also alludes to recurring motifs in film and theater history with calculated dramatic effects and queer musical undertones by the Kumbia Queers, Bonanza Jelly- bean and Edita Gruberová. The sensuous self-determination stands at the core, which through the plurality of the chorus, appearing at times androgynous, at times opulent in red drag, comments with a wink of the eye, before finally embedding in a powerful collective.
(Sonja Eismann)
Shot: Front-on camera on a group in red. Focused, silent. Fade out. The music begins, the stage is set. However, what awaits us might be unexpected. A performative game of illusions and allusions, seduction and denial, and, above all, one that´s up to our interpretation.
(Barbara Reumüller)
