For the opening of the 2024/25 Performing Arts Season, Taylor Mac and Matt Ray will return to Berlin with the European premiere of “Bark of Millions” on 9 October 2024.
Their new show “Bark of Millions”, co-commissioned by Berliner Festspiele, is an electrifying rock opera and exploration of humanity through a queer lens in equal parts. In opulent fantasy costumes by Machine Dazzle, an ensemble of 20 artists sing, play and dance a total of 55 songs – one for each year that has passed since the first Pride Parade in New in 1970. Because this four-hour celebration of queer art and history is also about keeping the essence of this revolutionary movement that celebrates pride and love alive.
Please note: The performance may contain strong language, sexual references and adult themes.
