Bent: presenting queer life in Nazi Germany

By Ace Filter and Diti Belhe | Oct. 26, 2022

From Oct. 19 to 29, Bartell Theater is showing the production “Bent.” The play, written by Martin Sherman in 1979, tells a story about the persecution of gay individuals in Nazi Germany. Following the life of Max, a gay man estranged from his wealthy family living in 1930s Berlin, the audience is immersed in the heart-wrenching representation of what life was like living as a queer person under Hitler’s rule.

The rise of the Mad Patcher: An interview with Baxter Salzwedel

By Hannah Ritvo | Oct. 25, 2022

Sustainable sourcing, vibrant patterns and donations to charity – it sounds impossible. But one man, Baxter Salzwedel, is offering it all. Creating one of a kind garments with a passion is quite literally his name – the “madpatcher” turned his sewing hobby into a full-fledged, flourishing business. I interviewed the 18-year-old to find out more about his beautiful garments and figure out how the high school graduate built his business from the ground up.

King Princess ‘f—ing loves Madison’

By Hannah Ritvo | Oct. 25, 2022

Madison’s queer community doesn’t often get a chance to convene, and LGBTQ+ individuals remain far outnumbered even in Wisconsin’s most progressive city. Thus, when genderqueer King Princess stopped at the Sylvee on their “Hold on Baby” Tour, queer individuals were offered a unique opportunity to celebrate the rock icon and their community all night long.

By Hannah Ritvo | Oct. 25, 2022

We’ve all spent long nights thinking about sleeping with Bucky the Badger — or is it just Hannah Berner? The female comedian began her show laughing about one of her many claims to fame — actually sleeping with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s very own Bucky.

Alvvays and Slow Pulp grace the stage at Memorial Union

By Jackson Baldus | Oct. 19, 2022

The fact that Slow Pulp and Alvvays’ concert occurred as planned is remarkable, considering the bands faced an accident on the way to Madison and a last-minute venue change because of the weather. The show was planned to take place on the Terrace, but was moved indoors to Shannon Hall. Understandably, the performance started an hour late, yet the bands were still determined to deliver a top-notch performance despite the unfortunate circumstances around their first tour stop.
