Programme

A significant portion of the concert is dedicated to covers of queer artists, as well as pieces by Evelin Lindberg and Josh Spear.

Will Wiesenfeld’s Human Bog is the “title track” of the concert – a song which brings up the loneliness of going through a straight and cis-normative world as a queer person. “Bög” – Swedish for fag/f*ggot – the word that branded us, some from early childhood, doesn’t mean anything bad at all, but is still a common slur.

Let us dress up in everything they hate about us. Let us unite in our loneliness in a queer ritual. Bigotry should be a thing of the past. Let us hold a ritual bog funeral for our (ongoing) oppression and bathe with the bog bodies.
