twin peaks sultry downpour
Pepsi Boston Bar, Schwuz, Berlin, November 2023
the Log Lady twins, sexy dyke detectives and non-binary lumberjacks, girls in silky nightgowns and lesbians in 80s schoolgirl pullovers: a night of fabulous sultry Downpour.
The first Lynch-inspired lesbian party happened on November 16th at Pepsi Boston Bar Berlin - Twin Peaks Downpour. The event featured performances by the queer non-binary Kit Solawy as James, drag artist Dirt Dyke as a sexy Fish in the percolator and a terribly hot twinky agent Cooper, the wonderful Poppy Cox as a dead Laura Palmer doing a scary striptease and a juicy burlesque squeeze as Audrey Horne. Slightly Strange Theatre - my theatre of alter-egos - was the MC. In addition to a magical program of artistic performances, we had a Tombola presented by Scarlett Saint Martin. We also auctioned our performers and even eager members of audience at our Date Auction.
From the idea to curation and direction, social media and sponsorships, I coordinated and produced this vision to life, helped by the wonderful performers and volunteers (for scenography, tech/sound. We were sponsored by six Berlin cinemas, sex-positive shops, cafes etc, who contributed the prizes to our Tombola. The event was a huge success, with a full house and a very participative audience - everybody came to the floor for the slow-dance contest. All shades of flannel, logs and cowboy hats welcome! We’ll be sipping coctails, slow-dancing to the songs from the iconic TV Show, and enjoying a program of live entertainement, including a tribute to Julee Cruise, cabaret numbers, performance art and a techno Twin-Peaks inspired DJ set for the later hours when the owls wake up.
