Welcome to the universe of Mx. CoelaCunt, a fluid being that refuses to be contained. Not by time. Not by binary systems. Not by humans. Mx. CoelaCunt will live forever is an ode to survival - for every body and being that refuses to conform. Through a fluid blend of musical languages, choreography, fashion, spoken word, and glamour, Djuwa Mroivili creates a performance that is both healing and confrontational.

Mx. CoelaCunt will live forever is a performance in which creator, musician, and performer Djuwa Mroivili takes you into the depths. Into deep seas, fractured roots, ancient rituals, and new forms of resistance. Djuwa draws connections between Comorian traditions, queer culture, and the mysterious life of the deep sea - a world still largely unknown to humans.

The Comoros Islands - where Djuwa traces a family history - is where the essence of this journey unfolds: a place where oral traditions, music, and campy weddings intertwine the past and present. A place where matriarchal and patriarchal structures coexist. But also a place where European colonizers once stigmatized existence itself - and erased the lives of those whose gender and sexuality defied colonial norms.

Good to know

  • The performance makes use of loud noises, smoke and flashing lights.
  • The performance is mainly Dutch spoken, with elements in English and French.
  • Music, light and dance play an important role, so even when you don't (fully) understand the Dutch text, you can still enjoy the performance.

In de media

THEATERKRANT
"Heerlijke musici kraken een flinke noot over koloniale overheersing"

WINQ MAGAZINE
"Djuwa Mroivili maakt een muziektheatervoorstelling over een vis die niet dood te krijgen is. Over overleven, kolonisatie en non-binariteit die de evolutietheorie op zijn kop zette."
