About the performance
Danes living with HIV occupy Aarhus City Hall, taking up space and being given voice, visibility and attention to shed light on the social stigmas, life experiences and challenges of living with HIV in Denmark today.
In an effort to change prejudices, brave Danes share their life stories and perspectives on living with the disease HIV. Home Queer Home is an installation and performative concept created by HIMHERANDIT
Productions. In collaboration with local communities, it works to create social engagement, empowerment and public awareness and consciousness of the themes and living conditions of marginalized groups, with a special focus on LGBTQIA+ communities.
On a huge rainbow floor, with a large mirror installation, the hall of the city hall is filled and becomes an artistic setting where the performers take a seat and share their testimonies. For the first time the Home Queer Home format is taken out of artistic institutions and into an institution of social and political power.
Where pointing out the disease HIV is a social political theme, a problem and life situation citizens live with, is given space to be said out loud and to unfold in a setting where those who have the power to influence and improve the situation, are housed.
This year's opening performance and the fourth edition of Home Quer Home - Positive Perspectives is created in collaboration with the AIDS Foundation, and originated from the foundation's portrait series "Positive Portraits", which can be experienced during the festival at Godsbanen.
