Cibelle Cavalli Bastos: Sonja Khalecallon’s Products for a Better Life, Theirstory and News from the Retrofuture
Workshop as part of the exhibition “Welt ohne Außen”
Las Venus Resort Palace Hotel is the only place that will have been left at the end of the world after the apocalypse. Welcome to the retro-future where time curves in its own spiral! Sonja Khalecallon, Cibelle Cavalli Bastos’ Drag Queen and High Femme being is a cabaret singer, multitasking cosmic healer, manicurist, cleaner, exotic dancer and TV sales-femme reports from her dystopian present as an emissary of the deep entrenchment of a techno capitalist society with its future pasts. Participants are invited to join Sonja’s space of experimentation and play in therapeutic conversations, group meditations, card readings, contemplative exercises and dance workshops, plunging into a world of constant anthropophagic amalgamation with a warped exotica residue.
Cibelle Cavalli Bastos is non-binary and goes by they/them/theirs pronouns. Sonja Khalecallon identifies as a femme and uses she/her/hers pronouns.
