Hey — hiiiiii — we’ve been away — you forgive us? You trust again?
You show up — we´ll carry you to the voting booth the next day — personally, we do it — but not before we dance.
What would you say if we turned our beloved Charlie into a live venue for one night?
Pollyester comes crawling on velvety paws, with synth drama by Daniel Nentwig and beats of love by Simon Popp. That very week our new single “Cocaine Decisions” hits the virtual space — one more reason to gather our bodies in a space so warm with friendship and love we can actually celebrate the birth hour of a young Pollyester baby.
Excessive hugging. Extrovert dancing to the degree of embarrassment. That is the plan.
The night before we demonstrate for women’s rights on March 8, before we elect new representatives for our old town.
And isn’t it the best moment to celebrate our cute Charlie? Isn’t it one fine place to come together?
Show us your grin. Show us your faces. We haven’t seen you in so long.
Also — while we’re whispering in your ear — there’s more coming.
Little bits first, then bigger pieces. Songs to make you stomp, sway, maybe even cry a little.
Through the year we’ll drop them — all of it leading to a full Pollyester album, eventually. But not yet. Not all at once.
This is just a soft start. A gentle nudge. Nuuuuuudge

While we are planning our first single release in a few weeks from now I cannot keep from you the news that @lawassia is featured in our video for „C**aine Decisions“! Can’t wait to share it with you 🔥🔥🔥

With the naked heart of vulnerability - open, pulsing, probing for form and expression for the vessel I have become - painfully releasing the old and wholeheartedly embracing the new, I crawl along the surfaces of my surroundings in search of synchronization between sound and body.

New music fermenting
Best cover ever in production

If you are in the same phase - share a thought, a feeling ♥️
Eine Riesenüberraschung 😯 für Polly Lapkovskaja von der Band Pollyester: Die Künstlerin performte beim Bayerischen Kunstpreis 2025, nicht wissend, dass sie danach mit dem Bayerischen Kunstpreis in der Kategorie Performance ausgezeichnet wird!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Polly! 👏

POLLYESTER IS BACK
After years of silence, the glitter dust finally stirs.
Munich’s own post punk disco shapeshifters POLLYESTER return - louder, stranger, and somehow even more alive. For one night only at the closing of SPIELART Festival, they’ll shake the floorboards with an exclusive pre-listening of their upcoming new album. For this comeback night the line-up consists of drums/bass/vox/effects - @simon.popp@pollyester___@djkaput and the DJs @vila.leyla (Radio 80000) and @chikitonka_tigran (Chikitonka)
#premiere
Die Nichtbesucherin. Etüden für ein Gebäude
Audiovisuelle Performance von POLLYESTER
Uraufführung
Tickets:
Die Eröffnungspremiere in der Kammer steht an und gemeinsam mit Regisseurin Polina Lapkovskaja alias POLLYESTER begeben wir uns auf Forschungsreise.
Wer sind eigentlich die Menschen, die noch nicht ins Theater gehen? Und warum kommen sie nicht? Und was kann Theater?
Unterstützt werden unsere Darsteller:innen beim Forschen, durch unheimliche Avatare, die ihnen zum verwechseln ähnlich sehen und doch ganz anders sind. Der Videokünstler Mikko Gaestel hat während des Probenprozesses eindrucksvolle Installationen geschaffen, die den Bühnenraum virtuell erweitert.
