Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Copla, practically unknown in England, is essential to Spains cultural and political history. Copla songs channel the queer and migrant experiences in Spains early musicals, hitting all the right notes for gay people who love to laugh and cry to divas and their melodramatic music. Copla once served as political tool against repression first under Francos dictatorship, and later for Spanish LGBTQ communities. This cabaret show celebrates queer migrant identity and exposes its pitfalls: living away from ones homeland, translating musicals loved while in childhood, reinterpreting queer-loved songs, and self-negotiating foreignness. Queer migrant performer Alejandro Postigo de-constructs the traditional Spanish songs and shares their historical significance for queer collectives, inviting the audience to be part of the dialogue. Through his performance of English Copla and sharing his life stories, youll witness his rebirth as alter ego La Gitana, with live music, a drink in hand and lots of interaction.
