Tubi Malcharzik & Team »Paskudnik«
In our words:
Float with Paskudnik, a post-migrant drag persona, in a lost space between Germany and Poland, past and future. Tubi Malcharzik sensitively explores Tubi's own German-Polish family history from a queer perspective and invites you to immerse yourself together in an undeciphered memory space full of soundscapes, narrative fragments and imagination.
In the organizer's words:
"Paskudnik" is a post-migrant drag persona lost in the crossing - crossing the border between Germany and Poland, between past and future. "Paskudnik" is a word that often left the grandfather's lips to call the grandchild. In memory, it moves between dining table, soccer match, parasite and disgust. There is no clear translation. What exactly the term means remains unclear. With "Paskudnik", Tubi Malcharzik takes a queer look at his own German-Polish family history and sets out in search of this familiar but undeciphered hole in the collective family memory.
One hundred years after the referendum in the border region of Upper Silesia and fifty years after the family arrived in the Friedland border transit camp in the Federal Republic of Germany, Tubi Malcharzik takes the word "Paskudnik" as a starting point to retrace German-Polish migration history together with an interdisciplinary team. Through immersive soundscapes, narrative fragments and imagination, they open up a queer and post-migrant space of memory. They invite the audience to the dining table of an Upper Silesian family celebration and to the interface of a dating app, until these places connect for the duration of a song. Using a red velvet dress, myths about high cheekbones and songs by t.A.T.u. and Peter Alexander, the performance touches on questions of gender roles and sexuality, as well as German-Polish memory culture and post-migrant reality.
