In the organizer's words:

I kissed a girl boy and I liked it - the straightwashing of Frédéric Chopin
A lecture recital. Part 1: Viva Polonia!
The Polish national icon, the composer Frédéric Chopin, wrote passionate declarations of love to men - and nobody noticed. Or did they?
This lecture recital with piano and vocal works by Chopin is about a queer reading of his life and work, the revision of his identity - and the question: who actually decides how history is written?
Düsseldorf song pianist and music educator Sophie Sczepanek goes in search of clues in Warsaw, the capital of a country that is so much more than vodka and pierogi. A country where the jury decisions of the Chopin Piano Competition are discussed as passionately as questionable referee whistles here - and which has a special significance for the artist, even though she has never lived there.
And because history is not only written on paper, but also between the lines, thoughts from the multi-award-winning Polish author Jacek Dehnel (*1980) (including "Lala", "Saturn"), whose latest work is entitled "Chopin's Heart", are included. In a conversation about straightwashing in culture and science, a dialog about queer invisibility, national myths and the question of how much truth a society can bear arose between Warsaw's old building and Berlin's intellectual backyard.

Lecture recital - never heard of it? A lecture recital is a special concert form that combines music and context. The performance is supplemented by short, concise moderations or academic-artistic explanations - for example on composers, historical backgrounds, interpretative approaches or social references, so that you can immerse yourself even more deeply in the music and the time.
