Festival Jerk Off : Pins & Needles ; Kiss Me ; With Us

The Jerk Off festival invites Maison Furieuse to the closing night of its 19th edition. On the program: a performance by artist Leon Marič as the opening act, followed by the Pins & Needles cabaret and a DJ set by Transterror (With Us).

Part one: Kiss me, by Leon Marič
In his performance, Leon Marič merges the living tradition of the pozvačin (Slovene wedding guest) with the codes of queer culture, creating a bridge between cultural heritage and individual freedom. This confrontation reveals powerful parallels between folk heroes and queer manifestations, both celebrating love and community. The work thus fuses two expressions of universal love, rooted in the very identity of the artist.

Cabaret: Pins & Needles - All Stars Edition
Originally in Berlin, then at Cirque Electrique, and now at Bal Chavaux... LaDoll's Cabaret, by and for the deviant, where freaks reclaim pointed fingers and where mad, almost-dead dolls begin to speak. A neo-traditional cabaret revue focused on the resonances between the legacy of freak shows and the lives of queer people, featuring music, circus, drag, dance, variety, and sideshows, this production invites both local and international artists.

For this edition in collaboration between Jerk Off, La Marbrerie, Maison Furieuse, Saison Cabaret and Mona LaDoll, we are pleased to invite: Djombo Goddess, Cetait Bontemps, Blood Drinker, Pierre & La Rose & Joh La La.

The idea is to elevate a range of spectacular cabaret practices while injecting intimacy and politics to make this revue a mirror of the contemporary world, which is what cabaret has been for so long. The plurality of cabaret, of the identities and arts it encompasses, will reign supreme, as will the encounter with international artists.
Creating connections around our artistic practices on stage, the Pins & Needles cabaret opens up horizons in the audience and backstage.

Dj set closing: Transterror (resident with us):
A member of the With US collective and resident DJ at À La Folie, he started out in the Kidnapping crew alongside Sophie Morello and has been a fixture of the Parisian queer party scene for the past six years. An insatiable digger, he loves nothing more than sharing the party spirit with clubbers, a place where everyone is in sync: from the energy of Rave and kitschy, enduring Techno to dramatic Trance and erotic slow dances.
The With Us collective is a Paris-based group specializing in organizing festive and socially conscious parties, notably at the legendary Gare des Mines metro station. They feature a musical program blending house, progressive trance, and artistic performances. Their guiding principle is: "QUEER PARTIES - ONLY TRANS/NB ARTISTS".
