Erinnerungen an den Widerstand
Through photographs, stories, and personal objects, Pau Aran seeks to make visible the legacy of queer elders, challenge stereotypes, and create a new space of love and acceptance. These individuals, often forgotten in LGBTQ+ discourse, were pillars in the fight for equality and offer a unique perspective that connects past and present. Their experiences of resistance against a society dominated by rigid norms, as well as their creativity, are invaluable on the path toward a more inclusive future.
In a world that frequently marginalizes older people —especially those who break social norms— this dance piece explores the intersection of gender identities, sexual diversity, and intergenerational wisdom.
