These are your hosts

Ukraine’s Drag Ambassador SAMANTHA JACKSON from Odesa has a big stage presence, a big heart and an even bigger voice. Everything about her is big. Especially the longing for her old homeland, which she had to leave because of the war. With her songs, she reminds us of Ukraine. Her cause: A life in freedom! Samantha says: “All people in this world deserve to be free to choose who they love and be who they are.”

XENI SLAY Your favourite Ukrainian demon who will leave you paralysed. Xeni has flown in especially from Düsseldorf, where they regularly organise their own events. Get ready for impressive acrobatics with a good dose of slay and clowning! Xeni’s performances are a unique blend of their Ukrainian heritage and circus background. Get ready to slay!

And these are our performers

She is the enfant terrible of the German burlesque scene. When RUBY TUESDAY gets on stage, it’s getting hot. Ruby has been performing throughout Europe as a neo-burlesque performer for over ten years. This art form not only allows the performers to play with femininity and sensuality in a self-determined, creative and humorous way, but also to question social norms and blur boundaries. Her versatility allows Ruby to slip into many roles: she plays the fluffy bunny just as convincingly as “Ruben Tuesday” bursting with masculinity – Ruby was Munich’s first drag king.

PHIPHI CUMFORT, the smart queen from Munich, entertains with charm, sexiness and extravagance! Whether with wild hairstyles or colourful costumes, everyone feels comfortable with her – she’s Phi Phi Cumfort! Her favourite hobby are blow jobs: from soap bubbles to balloons! True to her motto: “Better late than never”, she has conquered the hearts and stages of Munich in two years.

ETERNAL DAMNATION is not just a drag queen; she’s a drag queen who knows how to make you laugh your ass off. And not only that, but she’s also a theatre kid! Who would’ve thought. Expect live singing, comedy, but most importantly, expect the unexpected! She’s our guest from Zurich.

OLENA VYSHNEVSKA has been living in Vienna for years now. The war brought her to Austria. The mezzo-soprano, who worked in her home town Odesa as a soloist with the regional philharmonic orchestra, the opera house and as a teacher of solo singing at the State Academy of Music, continues to perform as a singer, travelling all over Europe to do so. She has won numerous international awards for her art.

Donations for queer people in Ukraine

Munich Kyiv Extravaganza celebrates queer (drag) art from Ukraine. We offer a platform for young Ukrainian artists and also take the opportunity to collect donations for queer war victims in Ukraine.

This is how you can donate

INDIVIDUAL HELP Munich Kyiv Queer has its own fundraising campaign via https://www.paypal.me/ConradBreyer to support queer people in Ukraine who are in need or on the run. Why? Because not all LGBTIQ* are organised in the local LGBTIQ*-groups. This help is direct, fast and free of charge if you choose the option “For friends and family” on PayPal. If you don’t have PayPal, you can alternatively send money to the private account of Conrad Breyer, speaker of Munich Kyiv Queer, IBAN: DE427015000021121454.

All requests from the community are meticulously checked in cooperation with our partner organisations in Ukraine. If they can help themselves, they take over. If the demands for help exceed their (financial and/or material) possibilities, we will step in.

HELP FOR LGBTIQ* ORGANISATIONS To support LGBTIQ* in Ukraine we have helped set up the Alliance Queer Emergency Aid Ukraine, in which around 40 German LGBTIQ* Human Rights organisations are involved. All these groups have access to very different Human Rights organisations in Ukraine and use funds for urgently needed care or evacuation of queer people. Every donation helps and is used 100 percent to benefit queer people in Ukraine. Donate here

VULNERABLE GROUP And here you can find out why queer people in war need our support.
