About the event
A Series of Unmentionable Acts brings queer histories to life through a dynamic blend of performance, puppetry, and audience interaction. At its center is a reimagining of Karl Heinrich Ulrichs’s 1867 address—one of the earliest public defenses of queer identity—alongside a staged performance of At Saint Judas’s (1896) and an interactive wedding sequence that invites the audience into the narrative itself.
With a tone that moves between thoughtful, irreverent, and quietly radical, the production explores how history is shaped, silenced, and re-performed.
