"The Origin of Love" based on the graphic novel by Liv Strömquist, interpreted by Sandra Fox and Dominik Günther

Published in German by avant-Verlag

Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Haddaway and everyone else wants to know what love is. Liv Strömquist has the answer, and we're going to sing it. Embark on a queer journey through pop history, from polyamorous Nordic goddess Frigg and Prince Charles and his feelings (as the Swedish comic was originally titled) to Charlie Sheen, Charile Chaplin and Nancy Reagan. We examine the creation of role models, pathological relationship patterns and the change in role models in Europe and the USA. We bust one myth after another and bring pop history crashing down through meticulousness, live music and unwavering humour.
