The motto of our boat is: Equal Rights Coalition – 43 countries TOGETHER for equality

Ambassadors and employees of the embassies of the member states are on our boat together with our guests: Drag queen Rozetta Stone and DJ Katro Zauber.

Rozetta Stone is multilingual cabaret sensation! This cunning linguist hails from Brisbane, and after wowing the crowds of London, Reykjavik, Tokyo, and New York with her comedy, she is now tolerated by Amsterdam! Her multilingual comedy cabaret crosses borders and builds connections.

Katro Zauber dj-sets have taken her on tours to some of Europe’s most vibrant cultural hubs, including Paris, Amsterdam, Tel-Aviv, Warsaw, Moscow, St-Petersburg, and Tbilisi. “To me, music is a way of breaking down barriers and creating connections between people,” she observes. “No matter where you come from or what language you speak, we can all come together and feel the power and joy of great music.”
