Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens – the internationally renowned lesbian artist and activist duo and pioneering icons of radical feminist and queer art – are back in Berlin! With passion, desire and an eco-sexual declaration of love for the Earth.“Playing with Fire: An Ecosexual Emergency” is a life-affirming ecosexual documentary that emerged from the ashes of the devastating fires in California. When a bolt of lightning sets the redwood forest surrounding Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens’ home in Boulder Creek alight, the long-term lovers are forced to temporalily leave their house. They transform their loss and grief into ecosexual art, in which they understand fire as destructive, regenerative and erotic, blending humour, communal care, social justice and environmental awareness into a lush and fiery journey of transformation.From an ecosexual perspective, in which the Earth becomes a lover, the film encounters firefighters, artists, scientists, neighbours and others who nurture their very own relationships with fire.Albert, the mythical white peacock from Boulder Creek, serves as the narrator guiding viewers through the film, which culminates in a ceremonial ‘wedding to the fire’ on the riverbank amidst the redwoods. “Playing with Fire” is a creative and urgent call to action in the face of the worsening climate crisis, and at the same time a powerful portrait of queer resilience in a world that is ablaze.Following the film, Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens invite you to join some flaming ecosexuals for a hot “Ecosexual Wedding Ritual to Fire”. Everyone is invited to be brides or grooms and to take vows together to “love, honour and cherish the fire” . Or simply to be a witness. Beth and Annie will lead the ceremony, with Joy Brooke Fairfield hosting the programme. There will be some smokin’ performances, a bouquet toss, wedding rings for everyone and surprises. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in the themes and colors of fire.
