A mixture of contrasts between the sophisticated electronic pop art of what is a real institution in the city and the queer and pagan re-appropriation of Christian iconography of a soprano performer.

Romantic-sexual mantras, electronic mambo, glam-pop, progressive dance, situationism, ceremonial ballads, comic mysticism and more, all are valid coordinates to locate the trajectory of more than two decades of Hidrogenesse. Carlos Ballesteros and Genís Segarra, authors of classics such as Dígito binario dudoso (2012) and Roma (2015) and founders of the Austrohúngaro collective/label, released Jo Jo Bo Bo in March, a collection of new covers, sequels and improvisations based on recordings from the album Joterías Bobas (2019), a critique of the despondency imposed by a new turn, more melodic and strangely old-fashioned and romantic, in his inimitable style.

Before Hidrogenesse takes tot he stage, performer and soprano singer Nebula Millarca will present Queer Respexit, a queer and LGTBIQ+ appropriation of Christian iconography that calls for the return of the fertility goddesses and the goat god in opposition to the Virgin Mary and Satan. In this pagan mass, the Visitation of the Travesti Virgin and her angels will take place in a ritual in which dark-wave electronica will be fused with opera and the violins of Los Gabis.
