BECOMING is a fluid bubble full of depth. Each edition is unique and offers a different queer perspective on identity and sexuality. Audience and artists immerse themselves together in intimacy, celebration, sensuality, dialogue, art, and glitter! At BECOMING, the motto is: more is better, vulnerability is strength, celebration is depth, and everyone is queer!
In Hall 3, we present three editions: Decolonized, Trans & Loved, and Body Politics.
Welcome to BECOMING Decolonized, the first edition of the series in The Hague! The influence of the colonial past is still felt in our lives. Its effects differ greatly depending on each person and their position. Hosts Ro Rox Roxy Roxanna Verwey and Fazle Shairmahomed will therefore approach decolonization from an intersectional perspective. How can we, individually and in relation to each other, free ourselves from oppression? And how can transformation and social justice become a daily practice?
Through music, spoken word, and a collective dance ritual, we aim to heal ourselves and honor our ancestors. Together, we build a queer space of intimacy where we can bridge our differences.
BECOMING is always a mix of English (80%) and Dutch (20%), with some non-verbal elements as well. The presentation is in simple English, though some acts or interviews may be in Dutch.
Even if you don’t speak Dutch, it’s absolutely worth coming—most of it is understandable!
