On the first night we looked at maps

LOS ALEMANES DEL VOLGA - Documentary performance for 10 spectators by Wenzel U. Vöcks & Federico Schwindt
Wenzel U. Vöcks & Federico Schwindt

On the table are photos, maps and a songbook. The audience sits around the table and mate tea is served. The hosts are a gay couple. They follow the trail of the Volga Germans who immigrated to Russia in the 18th century and continued on their journey to the American continents one hundred years later. In an intimate atmosphere, the past is explored in order to find a new future in which the queer legacy is possible.
