Doors 20:00

Get ready for an unforgettable evening as the Ratte mal! community takes the stage at Lark. Ratte mal! is an independent, queer-centic comedy musical which brings together a unique cast of international artists based in Berlin. The night will feature a powerful spoken word performance from Arielle Cottingham and three mystical, dark, and at times uplifting and groovy, musical performances from vocal powerhouses Líneik, Ella Raatikainen, and LoboLoto. The night culminates with a headline performance by queer activist and interstellar musician Gene Sophia Bogolepov and her band (Diego Ferri on guitar, Volodymyr Nestryga on drums), simply known as bogolepov. Expect laughter, heart, and unapologetic artistry. In between acts there will be raffles for prizes and small discussions with writer, director, and producer Scout Hansen, who will share insights into creating a feature film powered entirely by community—and what the project means on a broader scale. All proceeds go directly toward funding the Ratte mal! film project. Come for the music, stay for the community, and be part of something bold, beautiful, and Berlin-born. Ratte mal!
