A, wie Apfel Q, wie Queer (A for Apple, Q for Queer) is a queerfeminist performance in which IPek reads her own texts and sings folk songs. The texts are gender-related stories structured by the initials of each story’s title. Every story starts with a song that is related to the text she reads afterwards. As the performance is staged in an unusual combination of three languages - lyrics in Turkish and Hungarian, texts in German - there is always an unclear part for almost every viewer. This is to symbolise the gender diversity which may not necessarily be understood but is to be respected. With the initials of the stories IPek creates an unusual ABC, mixing the characters of different languages. At the end of this new gender alphabet, a book with stories and songs will emerge.
