Adelaide Fringe 2026
CANCELLED - Peter Baecker is OWN Priscilla
Returning to Adelaide Fringe with my Autobiography as a punky Drag Show.
Growing up in the 80’s and dancing to all the Hits in our kitchen.
Becoming Austria's first bearded Drag Queen in 1995 after seeing “Priscilla - Queen of the desert” and long before Conchita Wurst.
Giving a fresh perspective on music, being a Drag Queen, performance art, history and the 80’s in particular.
Because we are all our OWN Priscilla!
Presented by: Peter Baecker
Peter Baecker performs apparently average events, such as Parties, Disco’s, Roving performances and Theatre plays, which revolve around 80’s pop music. By staging these seemingly ordinary events, he creates a room (often without actually creating one) where his happy energy is released and where the audience feels safe enough to let themselves free from convention and turn themselves into the happiest persons they can be at this moment. „There is something deeply magical about it. Like everyone becomes their own shaman and channels their own source of entire joy.“ Peter Baecker sees himself working in the tradition of the Fluxus movement, which „understand the work as a site of interaction between artist and audience“ (John Cage).Suitability & warnings
