CLASSE is a project of transmission, compromise, blending and mixing, invented pedagogies and radical imagination. CLASSE is a space for words and thoughts that combines a public programme with the creation of an ongoing working group, moving through the Short Theatre 2026’s programme and beyond.
Every day for 10 days, artists, poets, activists, philosophers and researchers are invited to give a short talk starting from a specific word / issue / practice. Discover all the other appointments that constitute the public programme of CLASSE.
Is there a political proposal by queer, trans, and non-binary cultures that surpasses the colonial and patriarchal limitations of the traditional left? Can transfeminist love be a political answer to fascism?
Paul B. Preciado is a writer, curator, film maker and one of the leading thinkers in the fields of gender and sexual politics. His books, translated in Italian by Fandango, Manifesto Contra-sexual; Testo Junkie. Sex, Drugs and Biopolitics; Pornotopia; Can the Monster Speak?; An Apartement on Uranus; Dysphoria Mundi, and The Body of Nobody as well as his film Orlando, my political biography have become a reference for contemporary queer, transfeminist and non-binary countercultures. His hybrid, incisive work, ranging from political philosophy to history, art, and literature, explores new forms of intervention against necrobiopolitical management of bodies in contemporary capitalism.
