In the festival's words:

For the fourth and last time, Sophiensæle presents the popular spring series Queer Darlings, bringing old and new favorites to Berlin. The works of local and international artists* deal with personal and socio-political moments of change, transition, crisis and transition(s). To do so, they overwrite folk dances and narratives, fairy tales and myths from a queer perspective to create humorous, immersive, sensual and imaginative stage worlds beyond binary norms - celebrating the potential of queer imagination for new visions of coexistence.
