Travesty traces hidden queer history across a single site through time — a witch burned in a field, a clown building a theatre, an underground gay bar rising up against the police.

Ulf Stureson performs at Debaser Nova on May 13 with an intimate and deeply personal concert. With a stripped-down setup focused on piano and lyrics, the music explores themes of grief, loss and healing. Rooted in the passing of his partner Lina Selleby, the performance creates a reflective space where the audience is invited into a moment of quiet intensity and emotional connection.

One of the most beloved classical operas with impeccably beautiful music – but now is the time to dismiss Madama Butterfly’s romantic light. Cio-Cio San is a fifteen-year-old girl who is sold to an American officer, but she dreams of and believes in love until the bitter end.  In director Sofia Adrian Jupither’s version, with its substantial dose of realism, the contrast between gentle music and hard reality becomes a heart-rending experience.
