Criminal Queers turns 5 and still we’re not having enough.
Let’s celebrate with love, abundance and kuntiness, with old and new acquaintances on and under stage. Show off your preferred stiletto and step into a flamboyant experience, where all genres meet, from bloody synth wave to acid electronica to balkan perreo.✨

KABARETTO SHOW
Kabaretto is an anti-cabaret, a queer experiment where different performance languages meet. It celebrates diversity and promotes the fabulousness of those who are not afraid of not being perfect and, why not, of failing brilliantly! The stage will be graced by the legendary mother of the Kabaretto Madame Chola, along with YuanArturPaolFedericIvan, Pazza di Merda, altre500persone, and Laryssa Coifashi.
SANTA VIOLA & PORCAH ONTAS
WHO IS SANTA? Punk resistance, electronic music and a dash of pop are the real key to SANTAVIOLA. A native of the Etruscan Coast, she started her career as a cubist and stripper in Florence in 2013, a profession with which she supported herself and quickly became a party star. Her musical project started a few years later between Florence and Bologna. A name inspired by a Bolognese neighbourhood and Made in Florence productions are the perfect combination for a non-binary artist who investigates her identity through struggle and the queer movement.
Porcah Ontas: drag queen, artist and activist, is one of the voices of the queer revolution, proudly marching in the streets of the country, in the sunlight and under the stars of the night. A standard-bearer for LGBTQIAP+ existence and the fight against the HIV+ stigma, Porcah Ontas turns every stage into a manifesto for freedom and rights. From Venice, Porcah combines Colombian origins and European influences in a unique synthesis. The newly released track Morte a Venezia (in collaboration with Santaviola), celebrates freedom as an act of resistance, weaving decadent elegance and rebellious sonic impulses into a journey of dark techno, electronica and 80s references. Camouflage insurrection! Princess-loo by day and queen by night, Porcah Ontas reminds the world that if you don’t dance, it’s not your revolution.
SOCKSLOVE
SocksLove was born onto a record groove somewhere in Italy. Rock’n’roll and eurodance blew him away when he was five, and he started making tapes pretty much straight away. Since then, he’s been seduced by seamless danceable electronica as well as crooning live music. He started mixing vinyl when he was sixteen, crafting patchy harmonies, knotting together punk and breakbeat, synth pop and acieeeed disco, kraut rock and pop. SocksLove adopts the hedonism of electro and the sensuality of house music, crops comforting vocal loops and stoned guitar riffs –
filling and fulfilling club nights, afternoon and after-hour sets, meeting what’s more camp than a row of tents.

KUNTHUG
Kunthug is a multidisciplinary artist. Born and raised in Tirana, Albania, their artistic practice spans across visual and sound performances. Their inspiration comes a lot from their childhood sounds with a lot of balkan hints and arabic darbukas, to which their recorded sound compositions have combined a mix of genres that will make you go shik shek shok. All that you can expect this time is a lot of ass shaking and definitely a cultural shock.
