THIRD SEX: 1930s transvestite lieder [BEHIND THE LIEDER]

THIRD SEX: 1930s transvestite lieder [BEHIND THE LIEDER]

THIRD SEX: 1930s transvestite lieder is a found text song-cycle/punk cabaret based on the short stories, articles, poems, and personal essays of Das 3. Geschlecht, a transvestite magazine published in five issues from 1930-1932 in Berlin before n*zis burned its publishing house to the ground. The magazine was largely thought to be lost until it was rediscovered and reprinted in 2016. THIRD SEX brings these forgotten trans and queer narratives to life through an eclectic score inspired by the punk and experimental electronic scenes of the last 90 years while examining the queer experiences of the past, present, and future through our vivacious stories of survival.​

This intimate concert will feature new songs and stories behind Das 3. Geschlecht and its articles. Come at 8:30 when the doors open for exclusive shopping hours.

This in-person event will be held at Book Culture LIC - don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience!

This event is made possible in part with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.
