Drag Me [2] RoXY is a sparkling drag monologue about Amsterdam’s most famous nightclub. A thrilling and intimate ode to the ‘second home’ of an entire generation of night owls. World-famous stars, extravagant outfits, sensational performances, and an infamous door policy: RoXY was an iconic safe haven of freedom.

Thirty years later, actor and drag performer Sytze Bouma longs to bring RoXY back to life. Armed with a stack of interviews with former RoXY regulars, and using drag performances, old photographs, and pounding house music, Sytze explores what remains today of the ‘paradise refuge’ that RoXY once was. A visually rich as well as exciting solo performance about the longing for a queer home, and an invitation to breathe new life into old freedoms.

Drag Me [2] RoXY transports you back to the hedonistic nineties, which went up in flames in the summer of 1999.

Pers over Drag Me Home (2025)

SCENES
"Op welhaast vanzelfsprekende wijze beweegt [Bouma] zich door de ruimte en windt met groot gemak het publiek om de vingers. … De jonge queer theatermaker weet op intrigerende wijze lipsyncs en teksttoneel in een dragperformance bij elkaar te brengen."

3VOOR12
"Bij vlagen hilarisch, gevoelig, herkenbaar, maar vooral heel knap gedaan"
