Ten years Salvation (Glitter Doesn’t Care I’m A Boy) ✨

A science fiction drag ritual and an experimental invocation for a constant distribution of desires based on visions and fantasies Shlomi Moto Wagner has experienced since he was three years old.

This solo music theater piece is a mythological and poetic reading of current pop culture and its academic discourse. The music of ancient Jewish texts and invocations together with visionary tunes of composer Hildegard von Bingen is newly arranged with pop hits, techno compositions and contemporary feminist texts.

All of this makes the opera performance a ritual of transformation.

Sept 19 · Sept 20 · Sept 21 · Sept 22

Shlomi Moto Wagner is Mazy Mazeltov, is Wendy Williams, is Wisława Szymborska, is Fran Drescher, is Hélène Cixous and her Medusa is David Copperfield and Claudia Schiffer IN ONE BODY! And much, much more.

So, what is reality here and what is fiction? In times where a part of society wants to return to the gender roles of the 1950s, or even the 1940s, it is that much more critical to celebrate a festival of the imagination. Let’s make magic. And what comes out at the end? A concert, a drag queen musical, a monologue slam, a magic show, a bar mitzvah or simply a party with the people? Are the props ready? Powder, lipstick and glitter? All right!

Since 2017, Shlomi has been composing and producing music theatre works, including SALVATION, later Drag & Drum, and most recently EMERSION. As the founder of House of Mazeltov, a drag performance group, Shlomi explores the performative boundaries of voice, gender, tradition, and identity. In 2025, Wagner composed the music theatre work EMERSION for the Deutsche Oper Berlin — a composition for classical singers as well as pop and drag performers that combines electronic music, pop hits, house beats, and classical repertoire into a hybrid operatic form.

✨Celebrate 10 years of SALVATION (Glitter Doesn’t Care I’m a Boy) featuring original music, September 19-22 ✨

“If we look at where energy consumption has skyrocketed over the past few years, it’s in the area of so-called artificial intelligence. Have we ever discussed how much of it we need and how much of the energy we produce we want to allocate to further developing this industry?” – Jutta Kill (biologist, activist, researcher)

Only two chances left to experience the multimedia concert CARBON NEGATIVE by Flinn Works - Tonight at 8pm and Saturday, August 29 at 6pm.

“How can we possibly guarantee, over thousands of years into the future, that this carbon will remain stored in the tree? That’s unrealistic. To be honest, we’d have to admit that carbon offset projects involving tree planting are merely a temporary storage solution—and thus only a stopgap measure that simply shifts the actual problem onto future generations.” — Jutta Kill (biologist, activist, researcher)

Join tonight at 8PM with CARBON NEGATIVE. Additional performances August 28-29.

Three nights only — Carbon Negative is on tonight at 8pm!

Susana Alonso was in the house. So is Andi Otto - We don’t know how many hours, weeks, months we have spent together in the last 14 or so years creating lights and sound, buying tech, transporting tech, setting up tech, solving tech problems, running tech live. Btw: 1 person in this picture is still bad at tech. Guess who.

“And that’s the moral question facing the world today. Are we going to let people pollute because they can pay. That means the rich people will be polluting and destroying the earth, and poor people will be losing their resources to pay for what the rich people are polluting. And that’s the essence of the climate colonialism.” - Dr. Mordecai Ogada (biologist, activist, author)

The Flinn Works production CARBON NEGATIVE explores the impact of greenwashing and green colonialism. Don’t miss it tomorrow, August 27 through August 29.
