In 1912, Arnold Schonberg composed Pierrot Lunaire from the collection of poems written by Albert Giraud; in 2011, conductor Premil Petrovic invited Bruce LaBruce to direct a theatre version of Pierrot Lunaire based on Austrian composer’s the notion of cabaret; in 2013, Bruce LaBruce takes Pierrot Lunaire to the streets of Berlin and with Petrovic’s interpretation of Schonberg’s music, shots a story of desire, love and transgression, in which a woman dressed as a man seduces a young girl who doesn’t suspect that her lover is actually a female.
