Reading Queer Ball 2027 - Vertigo, dancing on the edge of a volcano!

Berlin, in the era of the Weimar Republic, 1918 - 1933, was known for it's variety, and it's queer life, especially nightlife. Berlin had a reputation, here you could find anything i you knew who to ask, or where to go.  In 1921 you could get angry political monologues alongside comedians and dancers, striptease and skin shows of all kinds. The cabaret of the day was not all the glitzy lights of the Kit Kat Klub of the musical, or El Dorado . However, this is 2027, why not have the glitz and the guts!

Reading Queer Ball is, for one night, Klub Vulkenrand! Enjoy the gay atmosphere, take in the beauty, both of venue and our gorgeous performers and guests. From seats at dimly lit tables, perhaps drink in hand, brace yourself with a sip, you'll need it!
