Peter Baecker is OWN Priscilla
From Austria to Australia, this autobiographical Drag-Show is an interactive, fun and wild soundtrack of becoming yourself.
Coming of age meets being of age.
After 52 years of living as a creative, queer person and 30 years performing all over the world, it's time to share my life story and its adventures.
Growing up in the '80s and discovering all the amazing music.
And in 1994 in Vienna the epiphany of seeing the movie “The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the desert”.
Giving a fresh perspective on Music, Drag Queen, Performance Art and Fluxus, History and the '80s in particular this show is a love letter to life itself.
And yes, of course you can dance!
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).
