Techno-opera performance is a long-term project 
in collaboration with Ina Vietha and 
Kiyoshi Yamamoto. 

It was first created under the framework of 
“Gestures & Nods #2: Performance, Drag, and Pedagogy”. 

The work is a response to the contemporary destruction of 
queer and transgender rights and reflects the eternal struggle 
to restore and build queer gathering points and places. 
The dramaturgy is based on a sacrificial ritual and mixes 
elements from techno, classical music, poetry and dreams. 
With Yamamoto’s colorful costumes and DJ Ina’s beats, 
I weave together harmonies, dreams, poetry and improvisations 
both live and sampling from works with a digital delay processor. 
The audience is invited onto the dance floor/stage and 
actively participates in the ritual.
