WHAT IS DIRTY TALK?

Dirty talk lives in the space between fantasy and confession.

It’s how desire gets tested, teased, and sometimes completely derailed.

From long-distance calls and JOI to the unexpected things whispered in the dark, Dirty Talk explores the words we use to turn each other on — and what happens when they land… or don’t.

This is Time to Shine’s tenth Berlin show, and we’re marking it with a night dedicated to pleasure, power, vulnerability, and humour — told by people who actually live it.

Siren de Sade is a professional opera singer, lifestyle dominatrix and latex enthusiast. With over 15 years of experience performing on stages across Germany, she has captivated audiences in iconic roles - from the seductive and fiercely independent Carmen to gender-bending parts like Orpheus and Hänsel. She relishes the thrill of slipping in and out of diverse roles, both onstage and in the realm of power dynamics, often in her favorite latex.

She trained in ensemble conducting and voice at the Karlsruhe University of Music, later spending five years in Genoa before settling in Berlin in 2010. Alongside her work at Studio Atrium, she added sex work to her professional life in 2024 with honesty and pride. On stage she performs her own songs as Franciska B., bringing a strong voice, musical depth, and striking presence.
