Pussyking* and the Pirates
Photos: Dorothea Tuch
"Harr! I am Pussyking*, the greatest terror on all seven seas and of all seven billionaires, the personification of the skull and crossbones. Once you see the gold of my teeth, it will already be too late. I am Pussyking*, King* of the Pirates." [1]
Jolly, jolly Roger, flag hoisted, sabre drawn, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum. Pirates have been found in books, films and carnival costumes for generations. Most of it is pure fiction. Between Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and Errol Flynn's white swashbuckler, pirate stories remain one thing above all else: mythological exaggeration. What remains when we throw these images overboard? Resistance, rebellion, queerness and utopia?
In “Pussyking* and the Pirates”, Cy Linke and team embark on a journey through the history of stories, towards fame and ruin, searching between drag performance, pirate film and history lecture for a stateless trans* society of unequals among unequals, where a Pussyking* no longer needs a crown.
