We are very happy to welcome Murasaki Haruan and Rokujo Kurei all the way from Japan at Queerope Berlin 2026.

On this evening, we will be screening BOUND (Jean-Armand Bougrelle, FRA, 2021), a documentary about female rope practitioners in Japan, starring Murasaki Haruan. After the screening, Andrea Rimon will lead a Q&A with both Murasaki Haruan and her current student and active pro-domme Rokujo Kurei about their working with rope, their approaches to tying in general as well as their specific continuation of Yukimura style in the Murasaki lineage.

Your curious questions are encouraged.
