"In 2020, Caven's couture comedy about generational healing was debuted for a neighborhood in lockdown. It was followed with an online dirndl fashion show, creating space for the "world's first virtual Oktoberfest." Since then, the quirky cartoon play/film-think "South Park" meets "My Dinner with Andre" plus "House of Gucci"-won an honorable mention by the L.A. Underground Film Forum. The best part about this intersectional Oktoberfest movie is the conversations it inspires afterwards. Don't miss it!"
Two Oakland events celebrate the dirndl through community fashion and performance. On Sunday, October 5, attendees are invited to wear costume, souvenir, handmade, or heirloom dirndls for a Dirndl Fashion Show...and Tell with prizes from local dignitaries and cultural figures. On Friday, October 10, a historic venue hosts the fifth-anniversary production of The Dirndl Diaspora, an animated play about a dressmaker overwhelmed by demand for mashup multicultural dirndls. The project debuted in 2020 during lockdown and was followed by an online dirndl fashion show billed as a virtual Oktoberfest. The production blends satire and intimate dialogue, has received festival recognition, and generates conversation about ethnic heritage and cultural mixing.
