当我们在讨论柏林酷儿的时候，我们在讨论什么

​柏林中文酷儿读书会回归了！

​2026年的第一次活动，让我们一起重新思考“queer Berlin”的形象，以及它与我们自身生活体验之间的关系。

​本次活动将以 Christopher Isherwood 的《Goodbye to Berlin》及其改编作品《Cabaret》为切入点，讨论文学、剧场与历史如何塑造人们对柏林和酷儿文化的想象。我们会简要介绍作品背景，并围绕酷儿身份、表演性以及柏林酷儿形象中的刻板印象展开讨论。同时，也欢迎大家分享自己想到的柏林酷儿文学、电影或文化作品。

​📖 Pre-work（非必须）：推荐大家提前阅读《Goodbye to Berlin》，或观看《Cabaret》的电影 / 音乐剧录像。没有提前准备也完全没关系，我们会在活动过程中对作品进行简单介绍。

​📍 时间：6月7日（周日）11:00，活动预计约2小时

​📍 地点：Tiergarten

​这是一次开放的户外讨论活动，欢迎大家自备野餐垫（非必须），也可以带一点食物和大家分享。

​如遇下雨，我们会另行通知室内地点。

​近期天气炎热，也请大家注意防晒和及时补水。

​Berlin Mandarin Queer Reading Club returns!

​For our first event of 2026, we invite you to rethink the image of “queer Berlin” and its relationship to our own lived experiences.

​This session will take Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin and its adaptation, Cabaret, as a starting point to discuss how literature, theatre, and history shape people’s imagination of Berlin and its queer culture. We will briefly introduce the works and explore topics including queer identity, performance, and stereotypes surrounding queer Berlin. We also invite you to share other queer literature, films, or cultural works related to Berlin.

​📖 Pre-work (optional): We recommend reading Goodbye to Berlin or watching the Cabaret film/musical recording beforehand. No preparation is required, though — we will also give a brief introduction to the works during the event.

​📍 Time: Sunday，June 7, 11:00 AM

​The event will last approximately 2 hours.

​📍 Location: Tiergarten

​This is an open-air discussion event. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket (optional), and you are also welcome to bring snacks or food to share with others.

​In case of rain, we will notify participants of an indoor location in advance.

​The weather has been quite hot recently. Please remember to stay hydrated and wear sun protection.
