Lesbians Suffer from Love

Has a straight friend ever told you that dating women is easier for you? Or have you been the one to say it to your queer girlfriend?

PMS twice a month. Your partner's best friend is probably her ex, who now dates your ex. And aren't you maybe bisexual?

The performative reading "Lesbians Suffer from Love" explores the phenomenon of yearning that permeates lesbian culture - especially in literature. In a circle of those addicted to being in love, the voices of Sappho, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, Emily Dickinson and Radclyffe Hall resound. Is there a universal sapphic experience? As King Princess sings, lesbian relationships are a concentrated form of "girl violence".
