The Queer X Show is the first sexplicit road movie using the documentary as a start. 7 bad girls tour in Europe in July and August: their van hits Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Rome and of course: Brussels.

The Show is the start of an oeuvre that reflect on the relationship between education, artistic expression and sexuality, following the initiated work of Annie Sprinkle. The Show is produced by 7 sexy queer activists from Europe and US. All will be filmed by French filmmaker Emilie Jouvet and the music is selected by dj Metzgerei from Berlin.

The Show is a bit like "Thelma and Louise", but with orgasms at the end !

Metzgerei has been spicing the aural brew of the Berlin Club scene since 2006. Her innovative mixing continues to surprise as it develops, peppering a essential electro base with a creative elixir of beats and vocals. Her mixes are aromatic, her visuals smoldering, and her sets have a sense of humor; exemplified by an occasional unexpected appearance of some oldies amidst a foundation of sounds from the underground. The sets have range; richer than the average minimal, sliced finer than breakbeat, she dishes up enough lyrics and hooks to whet the pickiest appetite.

Metzgerei single-handedly created Bend Over, a fierce queer party based in Berlin and happening everywhere.

She started producing remixes in 2009 and her own tracks came a year later. She has played alongside the likes of Adam Sky, Creep, Olof Drejer (The Knife), Fagget Fairys and Peaches. She was the booker and house DJ of the Queer X Show, and co-stars in the documentary about the tour Too Much Pussy. You can also see Metzgerei in The Sound of Berlin, a slice of cutting edge female DJs including the legendary Berghain's resident DJ Tama Sumo.

During the daylight hours, Metzgerei founded and works as the executive editor of Bend Over Magazine, an international collage of feminism, sexuality and queer art.

A poly-competent musician since childhood, Metzgerei grew up playing a variety of instruments from the piano to the chello. She focused on drumming until she broke both of her wrists in 2004.

Ever moving on and up, Metzgerei found the light in the misfortune by stepping up to the decks, finding the rhythmic fix she craved and working the turntables like a live instrument. Metzgerei started her career mixing 3 turntables and 2 cd decks, encouraging innovative sound layering with three blended tracks, folded through with independent vocals and made savory with samples of funk.

Clearly electro, she spun playful breakbeats flavored by funk and hip hop. Over time her style has ripened into a more serious tech house, but she still keeps it tangy with a twist.

Kathryn Fischer, aka Mad Kate, is a multifaceted dancer, singer, writer and performance artist from San Francisco.

Combining elements of dance theatre, spoken word, vocals and fashion, she has performed her queer-alien-burlesque-theatre extensively around Europe since moving to Berlin three years ago, seducing audiences with her dynamic stage presence. As a contemporary improvisational dancer Mad Kate integrates techniques from Ballet to Afro-Cuban to Butoh—pioneering a style uniquely her own. As a front woman for the punk-rock-cabaret band Kamikaze Queens, she continues to develop her song writing and vocal signature.

Mad Kate has been featured in Ivan Arrenega’s “Berlin Manners: Burlesque in Berlin,” Jess Feast’s documentary “Cowboys and Communists,” and plays the lead role in Julia Ostertag’s new film, “Saila.”

Kathryn holds an MFA in Writing and Consciousness from the New College of California and a BA in Peace and Conflict Studies with an emphasis in Gender and Sustainable Development from the University of California, Berkeley. Her writing has appeared in Z Magazine, Bitch, Other, Off Our Backs, Art XX, Sex Herald, Tea Party Magazine, Sojourn, Brew City Magazine and Controlled Burn, an anthology of short fiction by New College Press. Her work is currently being featured in the online exhibit, Imagining Ourselves: A Global Generation of Women, a project by the San Francisco International Museum of Women. She self-publishes “The Fabricated Love Affair Art Project,” a feminist, mixed media 'zine.

There will never be enough time to explore all the different women I would like to be. But in each of these personas I inhabit, I find that the through line has been my intellectual and artistic interest in the politics of borders—both between bodies and within bodies. This pursuit has manifested itself in many forms—interviewing women who live in rural farming cooperatives in Nicaragua and Haiti; advocacy of immigrants and political asylum seekers in the Bay Area; teaching creative writing inside the San Francisco Women’s Jail; sex / work / performance art and erotic dance; critical and creative writing; diving off the stage into a crowd of rowdy pogo punks while singing with my band.

Aguila is mad about vinyl. Over 1000 black covers are arranged in the best possible way in his private studio. He bought his first Technics at the age of 17 and hasn’t stopped to treat vinyls as rare oyster pearls.

As a boy of the late seventies, he is much influenced by disco, italo and wave. His mum however danced her ass off at the PopCorn so soulful gems are highly familiar to him. Add this to him being discotheque-born at the end of New Beat and start of House and Acid and you have a mixture of retro and new, from Aretha Franklin over The Hacienda to Inflagranti.

Currently playing in bars and basements, from private parties to events in metro stations.
