During this time period, homosexual erotic encounters were often initiated in the city\u2019s parks and secret passages but this circle of friends created a community around meetings in each other\u2019s homes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The court documents are influenced by the criminological and forensic psychiatric language of the interwar period but give, simultaneously, insights to the circle\u2019s gatherings. Stories, desires and experiences were shared, they recited song lyrics, listened to music and danced together. They referred to each other by female names and described their relationships as a \u201cspiritual kinship\u201d. Conny Karlsson Lundgren\u2019s performance includes excerpts from the interrogations, delivered by a performer in a choreographed dialogue with a collection of erotic photographs found in the home of one of the men. The scenography of the work is made up of wooden structures displaying the evidence used in the trial, a forensic chair with a measuring device and a speaker podium along with a pulsating, red light bulb \u2013 which also appears in <em>Prologue<\/em>, the first part of <em>The Gothenburg Affair<\/em>. A multitude of perspectives are embodied as the text alternates between the accused and the prosecutor. The performance ends in a crescendo with the couplet \u2018Jazzgossen\u2019 (The Jazz Boy) by Karl Gerhard from 1922, here sampled and edited by the music duo [inaudible]. The lyrics describe an early subculture of men using feminine-coded expressions, and the couplet may have been played at the circle\u2019s many dance parties.<\/p>\n<p>Admission to the exhibition is included.
