RambaZamba Theater

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure.

A young conservative couple gets engaged in a cemetery and sets off on a journey to visit the teacher in whose class they once met. On the way, the lovers' car breaks down in the middle of the night. In search of help, they enter the castle of a hedonistic party community and its leader, the eccentric scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter, who is creating Rocky, the perfect human being. The two immerse themselves in a world foreign to them, full of lust, music, and sex—and return completely transformed.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” initially flopped at the box office in 1975, but then unexpectedly became a cult film. The “midnight showings” celebrate queerness, B-movie horror effects, science fiction, extravagance, and glamour without restraint, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of the audience and performances by the legendary shadow casts of amateur actors.

Together with legendary Berlin drag queens Judy LaDivina and Bibingka, the RambaZamba ensemble invites you to an evening that transforms this tradition into a new form: an inclusive drag night! The art form of drag plays wildly with gender and explores the category of gender as a performative experience—in wild lip-sync performances to pop songs, intimate monologues, and direct encounters with the audience. Here, otherness is not hidden or condemned, but celebrated in a grandiose act of emancipation. Like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” drag creates spaces of liberation in which bodies, desires, and belonging are renegotiated.

The RambaZamba ensemble opens its castle in the Kulturbrauerei as a refuge for all creatures of the night—those who, in times of social polarization, must fear for their sovereignty and integrity—and invites them to enjoy eroticism, free love, and participation. Enter at your own risk!
