Der Bollerwagen brennt – again !!! Due to the resounding success of last year, the Institut für temporäre Notwendigkeiten is excited to invite you again on the 09.05.24 to Strandbad Plötzensee – to the beach day “H̶e̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶a̶g̶ LOL”. With this day, we want to critcize the tradition of “H̶e̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶a̶g̶” and support the queer housing project Tuntenhaus.
With its customs, this holiday reinforces patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity, often accompanied by heavy drinking and unruly behavior. Our aim is to disrupt the traditional concept of “H̶e̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶a̶g̶”, and create an alternative space on this day for people who do not want to conform to its patriarchal aesthetique. Queer spaces in Berlin are constantly endangered by investors and gentrification, and for this reason, this day will be in fininancial support of Tuntenhaus, which is at risk of shutting down after the real estate has been sold. There will be a special donation ticket which also includes a free drink – win-win! 😉
We will bring you many hours of house, disco, electro and techno, with a full FLINTA* and/or LGBTQ+ lineup. FLINTA* and LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face unfair challenges in the event and music business, often due to the hierarchical and patriarchal attitudes ingrained in the industry, and we believe that “H̶e̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶a̶g̶” is the best day to criticize this. As usual there will be also the opportunity to swim and the amazing gastronomy of the Strandbad.
Venue is wheelchair accessible through a ramp
