A Trip to Transsexual Transylvania

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Season Special: Celebrating the Underdog

‍

“I'm just a sweet transvestite, from Transsexual, Transylvania,” sings Tim Curry in his iconic role as Dr. Frank N. Furter. The musical, which is often described as the biggest cult film of all time, celebrates being different in every way. With the flamboyant characters and the hilarious story of rock'n'roll, sexiness and science fiction, no backside sits still on the cinema chair.

‍

With ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, we are straining the genre corsage in a similar way that Frank does with his bodice in the film. Apart from the horror in the title, there is little genre relationship with our other program. But let's not let that stop us from the festival party of the year. Celebrating the Underdog is our season special and that is exactly what we want to celebrate!

Participating in this film is the program! The last time I was able to see this cult classic on the big screen, a drag queen ran through the rows of seats in the open-air cinema and threw herself into the warm summer water of Lake Zurich right at the action on the screen. I expect at least as frenetic public participation at the festival!
