Rains Over Babel

Between future and past, in a city where all boundaries blur, lies the club Babel. Every night, lost souls gamble with the devilish landlady La Flaca for more time to live. Meanwhile, soul-catcher Dante is weary of the job and wants to negotiate a deal, while Roma and Darla prepare for the nightly drag wars and Pastor Don Alfonso rails against them. And then there’s Timbi, who must search the underworld with La Pitonisa and the talking salamander Rosa for the lead singer of The Black Mamba. »Rains over Babel« is a drug. A neon-soaked retro-future-noir, a glitter-drenched tropical-punk extravaganza in the sweltering heat of a queer hell club, Sambacore at its finest. Based on Dante’s Inferno, Gala del Sol pulls out all the stops, cranks up the bass, and lets her characters explode to vibrant life on screen. This year’s mind-bending spectacle in Oldenburg.
