LGBTI Resistances

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Ópera Queer

Dissident musical-theatrical proposal, made by the artivist twins Ferni and Luchi de Gyldenfeldt. It is not only a musical project, but also one of militancy, with which they seek to reinterpret fragments of the lyrical, operatic, chamber music genre of classical music, but making sexual and gender diversity visible. The lines of sopranos, tenors and baritones mean nothing because all binary imposition is broken.

Also part of Ópera Queer are: Jazmín “Maestre Luigi” Tiscornia on piano and Kyra Umansky in production.

It's called "Destino" and summarizes Paula Trama's journey. "It's like the quintessential lesbian anthem. There is also the audience that has been following me: they are my lesbian friends and the few people who were questioned at that time, which was a small community. The re-reading of all those songs that were niche. That everyone feels free in their sexuality, to build their own identity," he explains. "There is also some happiness in seeing how there are more ears willing to listen to that song." (Source 2)
