Queer art in Berlin | DW Documentary

Even when Bridge was very young, she already perceived herself as different. The expression non-binary – to mean not to belong to either gender – had not yet been coined.

Bridge called herself an androgynous woman. At first she only played with gender roles on stage as a hobby. In the daytime, she became a certified gymnastics instructor. But by the mid-1990s, Bridge was such a successful performer that she was able to give up her day job. A Report by Sylvia Wassermann.
