All About Us
Jonathan Bonny & Manuel Kiros Paolini

Buckle up for a trip through glitter-soaked propaganda and queer truths, fueled by hyperpop bangers and high-energy dance. Searching for authenticity in a world that celebrates queerness only when it’s convenient.
All About Us is collaboration between musician Jonathan and dancer Manuel Kiros Paolini. Together, they turn the spotlight on pinkwashing by forming the controversial performance duo Pink Armada, inspired by the iconic Russian pop duo t.A.T.u.
All About Us combines the spectacle of a commercial pop show with the vulnerability of an intimate dance piece. Through this absurd, aggressive ánd vulnerable performance, the makers expose how queer narratives are exploited for political and commercial gain.
