EAST PALACE WEST PALACE is not just the ultimate Sino queer party extravaganza; it’s the most perfect scenario to release your inner freak extraordinaire. So be ready to push, push and push; because on September 21st you’re invited to draw the line that sets apart the queens from the part-time princesses.


We have prepared a lot, because we know you’re hungry! And you might choke on it, because we have it all: a photo exhibition introducing Chengdu-based photographer MATE’s Chinese Opera series, the sleazy act of THE QWEEN DIVA behind the infamous MEDUSA parties Michael Cignarale, with his multiple-orgasm-inducing DJ sets and performances; and last but not the least: we have summoned Beijing’s very own Drag Queen Coven to bring the most over the top sino-inspired night of hypnotic Manchu fantasy and cunt-iness.


EAST PALACE WEST PALACE might ring a bell for some of you hardcore queer cinema aficionados: In 1996 a film, allegedly the first Chinese film to depict in an overt way homosexuals, introduced in its story two parks near the Forbidden City whose public toilets served as cruising venues for locals (this used to be a code word for areas open for random homosexual encounters, duh!). Cruising spaces were/are communal spaces stripped from their conventional use to be turned in scenarios of physical proximity and sexual liberation which still resonate strong on people who used to live in less ‘convenient’ circumstances (No Apps then, imagine).
