About the event

Juanita Bang Bang, a latina drag queen, tells and enacts the story of the number 108:

the number of males, presumably homosexuals, detained during a murder investigation

conducted by the Paraguayan Dictator Alfredo Stroessner in 1959. To this day, this

number is used as a way to discredit a person based on their sexual orientation.

However, the number has been reclaimed by local LGBTQ+ members from a shameful

association to one of pride. "I am 108" focuses on the fusion of extravagance and

meaningful narrative.

Content Notice: Mature subject matter, themes of violence and homophobia
