Contrary to popular belief, tarot cards do not predetermine our destiny but rather reveal our inner thoughts and offer tools for transformation. This means you are not a passive bystander of a prenoted future but an active agent in shaping your present! However, each tarot reader interprets, relates to, and utilizes the cards differently. See the disclaimers below for clarity on my approach to tarot. Important disclaimers! Out of personal moral convictions, I do not use tarot cards to give legal, medical, or psychological advice, as I lack both formal training and licensure to do so. For inquiries of such nature, I advise you to seek professional help. I am also not a psychic. While many divination practitioners are, and claircognizance is indeed a skill that can be improved through esoteric training, my strengths lie in my extensive autodidactic training in the pictographic histories of cartomancy. Alongside tarot, I use Lenormand and other oracle cards and draw from my studied knowledge of esoteric traditions to intuitively provide valuable assistance in introspective work and decision-making.

Homosexuality was invented in 2007. Here in my bedroom.So begins Jafar The Superstar and the Discovery of Homosexuality, an epic one-drag queen show that intertwines personal narratives, such as WooHooing in The Sims or coming out to one's Muslim grandmother who is in denial, with gender studies archaeology. From firsthand sources about homoromantic rites of passage in Edo Japan to the central role of the mustache in gender assignment during Qajar Iran, this fragmentary and anachronistic monologue performance oscillates between the historical and autobiographical to answer the world’s greatest mystery: where does homosexuality come from?Ongoing work. Performed at Nida Art Colony (Nida), ADIRA Party (Berlin), Fräulein Frauke Presents,Rendevouz Burlesque Club, Tuck o’ Hej (Stockholm), and more.

No one really cares. Jafar The Superstar has been hosting drag shows at the bar, forgotten by time at the edge of the galaxy, every Sunday since 1998. The next one will be her last. Before the star explodes. Supernova: Death of a Star is a performance that pays homage to the queens and queers in the margins of the margins. The ones who cannot be found in archives or dusty photographs. The ones who waited their whole lives for a breakthrough. The ones who never debuted beyond their hometown, and whose dreams of becoming a superstar still haunt them. The ones whose existence became an act of forgetfulness. This performance is in remembrance of those whowere never remembered. An offering of a home for dreams that never fully arrive. Ongoing work.

Jafar The Superstar builds upon their previous work on spiritual capitalism and new-age consumerism to bring you the all-new participatory performance workshop, SOULLESS WEST: a reenactment of a tantric workshop they attended as a teenager. Based on one of the most profound "what-the-fuck" moments in their life, SOULLESS WEST is a whimsical exploration of exercises in energetic cock manifestation, cacao ceremony, and celestial feminine/masculine activation. The performance delves into the ritualistic manipulations of self-proclaimed spiritual leaders, exposing how binary gender systems are reframed as cosmic truths within near-sectarian communities.

Hi I’m Jafar the Superstar. I’m based between Stockholm and Berlin.&nbsp; I’m an autodidact savant (that’s what artists without formal degrees call themselves) and technophile who&nbsp;works with theater, film, games, music, writing, and cartomancy. My works usually feature subversive comedy, camp, and kitsch aestehtics.&nbsp; Currently I’m mostly working as a game writer on a bunch of different game projects but occasionally I go an tour with some dope theatre production which is fun. I also make some music with my friend aasma under my artist name or our duo name coolblatte69 &amp; noob.&nbsp; Send me an email if you wanna link up for work. Or if you just wanna send love letters back and forth, that’s cool too. I’ll be your mistress. <img width="3000" height="4000" width_o="3000" height_o="4000" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/382d249e30226c75061cd247ec33203d260a2eec37f19e3b4cdbc80acc40a793/jafar-3.jpg" data-mid="1145190" border="0" /><img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/39b16bd937bce7ec71995c1e6fe9f8ef4423152cfa57e37c7f050b0181b3cd89/Jafaar2_lowres.jpg" data-mid="1142980" border="0" /><img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3c0a3e2518de0428726098f1b67144948373ccd4d5be756a93c64e3af217112e/Jafaar3_lowres.jpg" data-mid="1142979" border="0" /> Photo: Shahin Alipour Home | Works | About | Contact | Tarot Who the f#@% does she think she is!?
