All About Us Jonathan Bonny & Manuel Kiros Paolini

When is there a genuine fight for the queer community, and when is that fight hijacked for political or commercial gain? All About Us is an interdisciplinary collaboration between musician Jonathan Bonny (winner of a Fringe at Best award in 2024) and dancer Manuel Kiros Paolini. Together they shine a spotlight on the phenomenon of pinkwashing and form the controversial performance duo Pink Armada, inspired by the rise and fall of the iconic Russian pop duo tATu. This English-language performance will be staged at Theater Frascati.

In search of authenticity

All About Us combines the spectacle of a commercial pop show with the vulnerability of an intimate dance performance. With this absurd, aggressive, and vulnerable performance, the creators reveal how narratives around queerness are exploited for political and commercial gain.

Get ready for a journey through glitter propaganda and queer truths, fueled by hyperpop bangers and energetic dance. A search for authenticity in a world that only celebrates queerness when it's convenient.

After talk on Friday January 30

On Friday, January 30th, after the performance, a discussion will take place in the auditorium with creators Jonathan Bonny and Manuel Kiros Paolini. This discussion will delve deeper into the theme of pinkwashing and the artistic materials used in the production's creation. Fidele Oude, the Palestinian creator who provided the voice-overs for the performance, will join the discussion, moderated by Alejandra Zabala.
