Liebe LOGE Freundinnen, Unterstützer und Well-Wisher

Marc Smith performte diese Sommersaison als Letzter in der Loge. Es war ein eindrücklicher Abend. Slampapi hat uns gezeigt, was authentische, emotionale und unglaublich leidenschaftliche Poetry ist und ausmacht. Die Slam-Legende ist ein Performance Poetry-Kraftwerk. Seine Dichtung pulsiert auf der Bühne und transzendiert einen miserablen in einen do-you-remember-Tag.

Nun wünschen wir euch allen einen wunderbar-glücklichen Sommer mit vielen Highlights, Liebe & late Nights.

Anfang September gehts weiter mit vielen rohen und schon geschliffenen Spoken Word-Diamant*innen.

Wir hoffen, dass ihr dann wieder zu uns ans Helvetiagärtli findet.

Herzlichst, Loge-Verwesung, 20. Juni 2022

PS: Talking about presidents and dictators, Zoe Leonard still suggests the following:

I want a dyke for president. I want a person
with aids for president and I want a fag for
vice president and I want someone with no
health insurance and I want someone who grew
up in a place where the earth is so saturated
with toxic waste that they didn’t have
choice about getting leukemia. I want a
president that had an abortion at sixteen and
I want a candidate who isn’t the lesser of two
evils and I want a president who lost their
who still sees that in
thet, ‚over tuezideimehfnet lays gom „harebt,
who held their lover in their arms and knew
they were dying. I want a president with no
airconditioning,
a president who has stood on
line at the clinic, at the dmv, at the welfare
office and has been unemployed and layed off and
sexually harrassed and gaybashed and deported.

I want someone who has spent the night in the
tombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and
survived rape. I want someone who has been in
love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has
made mistakes and learned from them. I want a
Black woman for president. I
want someone with
bad teeth andan-attitude,
someone who has
eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who
crossdresses and has done drugs and, been in
therapy. I want someone who has committed
civil disobedience. And I want to know why this
isn’t possible. I want to know why we started
learning somewhere down the line that a president
is always à clown: always a john and never
a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker,
always a liar, always a
thief and never caught.
