Queer Pride Afterparty

2023/24 Fremdveranstaltung

Are you ready to shake off dusty norms and conventions?

On 22.6.24, we will once again take to the streets together as a queer and anti-fascist Pride.

After the joint fight against oppression, let’s show that our dreams are strong and alive – at the after-demo party under the motto Dusty Dreams! On the grounds of the Festspielhaus Hellerau, you can snack with friends, perform your favorite karaoke song with allies, marvel at art by queer artists and dance into the morning in queer rooms.

All kinds of surprises and a phenomenal line-up on several floors await you!

nøvo
peak time, techno, hard groove

A wild she-wolf once said: “nøvo is not only a dj + bff, but also a wild whirlwind, with a head full of strange ideas, who is not afraid to put his idealism into practice. At the same time, he always remains a pure artist of life, the best banana bread baker, an inventive supplier of energy and a funny cheeky bastard. But when nøvo turns the knobs behind the desk, you can also leave the whole sometimes stupid world behind and just feel pretty sexy while the bass makes us bounce properly.”

For the finale. So queue up, buckle up, and off you go: between trash and trance, the two Dresden luminaries No.Ri and LadyBug will provide the audience with the finest tracks with their joint old ego, giving CDJs a piece of their name back: Only CDs in da house. Both have been at home on the Dresden floors for a long time, are cofounders of the Happalé collective, and shaping the Dresden scene with their sound, vibe, and political vision.

hornycore, mishmash, experimental

DJ from Ústí nad Labem, a member of the SPEED DATE collective, Ústecky pride, a funny would-be curator at the tamtamtam gallery, an multimedia artist. They like to drink cheap crazy wolf energy drinks and that’s how their sets look like – fast and furious. Vigorous kicks, techno kicks, tracks across genres and moods. They uses songs from FLINTA+ artists a lot, because it is important for them to give space to those who are not seen and heard as much as they could be.

Fragt nach einem Ja – respektiert ein Nein.
Auch bei den Performances gilt: schauen, anfeuern, pfeifen – aber nicht ohne Erlaubnis grapschen.

Es gibt am Veranstaltungsabend ein Awareness-Team. Je 2 Menschen werden sich am Abend mobil über die Veranstaltung bewegen. Ihr erkennt sie an den weiße Shirts/Pullover mit Zebrastreifen mit dem Aufdruck „Awarenesskollektiv Dresden“ und sie tragen zudem ein LED-Armband. Sie sind für euch da falls ihr euch unwohl fühlt, Unterstützung braucht oder übergriffiges Verhalten wahrnehmt. Ihr könnt euch mit diesen Anliegen auch an die Security oder das Bar-Personal wenden. Sie informieren dann das Awareness-Team. 

We’re already dreaming of the fantastic outfits you’ll be wearing! Revealing outfits and sexiness are welcome!But no pressure, you don’t have to do anything. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable <3

We have made the following arrangements for the party and ask you to respect them: Simply being naked is not an outfit, genitals are to be kept covered at the party.

In Hellerau you can expect

  • a large outdoor area to hang out in
  • vegan goulash from the Küfa of the community garden nebenan as well as pasta from the Pasta Pause food truck.
  • Information stands from Aids-Hilfe Dresden and safer nightlife and a Queerpride merch stand will also be there

Infectious diseases pose a particular threat to at-risk groups and people with a compromised immune system. If you have cold symptoms, show solidarity and cure yourselves at home. We want to organize a party that is a safe place for as many people as possible.

The Festspielhaus HELLERAU is accessible for people in wheelchairs. The entrance is through a side entrance, please ask at the door. The venue has a wheelchair-accessible toilet.

There will be a “quiet/chill” room without music, but not completely silent, where you will have the possibility to lie down. Contact the awareness team if you would like to go there. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions or needs in order to attend the event: pridedd_more@riseup.net

  • Garden/outside: background music, no strobe lights or other lighting effects, no fog machine
  • Dalcroze Hall: karaoke and smaller sets, no strobe lights, no fog machine
  • Nancy Spero Hall: full volume, no strobe lights, intermittent light installation/light changes and fog machine

Arrival and departure by tram

It is possible to get on and off the streetcar using the ramp provided. Please note that you must board at the first door. To reach the Festspielhaus HELLERAU by tram, there are two exit options. You can find pictures of both on the website

Stop Festspielhaus Hellerau

The ground at the “Festspielhaus Hellerau” stop is covered with gravel, which can restrict the mobility of wheelchair users. An approx. 6 cm high edge on the pavement and the main road must be crossed. There are no traffic lights. From the “Festspielhaus Hellerau” stop, it is approx. 330 meters to the venue. The path is partly uneven and not easy to roll on due to the gravel surface..

Stop Heinrich-Tessenow-Weg

To get to the Festspielhaus Hellerau from the “Heinrich-Tessenow-Weg” stop, follow the sidewalk of the main road in the direction of travel up the right-hand side of the street. The distance from the bus stop to the Festspielhaus is 550 meters and is therefore longer than from the “Festspielhaus Hellerau” stop, however it is easier to roll on.

The entire night there will be a tram connection from and to Hellerau so that we all can get to the party and back home again easily.

You can find more information about the venue and how to get there at: hellerau.org/en/barrierefreiheit/

Accompanying Note

You are also cordially invited to take part in our afterparty “Dusty Dreams”! With an accompanying slip signed by your parents or legal guardian, you can dance, chat and join in until midnight!

Simply bring the completed and signed slip with you to the party and show it at the entrance. We look forward to experiencing an unforgettable night with you! There is a bar concept in accordance with the applicable youth protection regulations.

There will also be an awareness team on site and a Safer Night Life stand in case you feel unwell in any way during the evening.

To ensure that everyone gets to the party and back home safely, a streetcar will run every half hour throughout the night from the Festspielhaus Hellerau.

PDF Accompanying Note

Waiting for ages outside the door and wondering whether you’ll get into the club? We think that sucks too.

That’s why we’re delighted to be able to offer advance ticket sales this year in cooperation with HELLERAU in addition to the box office. There are e price categories – 6 €, 12 € or 18 €. You give as much or as little as you can. The entrance fee will be used to cover staff costs at the venue and to compensate artists for expenses. The rest will be donated to Queerpride.

If you don’t have any/enough money, we install a “solidarity fund” at the entrance to redistribut money. People who can put money in the fund and people who need it are invited to take from this fund. It’s a trust based concept and no explainations are needed.
