BECOMING is a fluid bubble full of depth. Each edition is unique and offers a new queer perspective on identity and sexuality. Spectators and artists immerse themselves together in intimacy, party, sensuality, dialogue, art and glitter! At BECOMING, more is better, vulnerability is strength, party is depth and everyone is queer!

In Zaal 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 are very different for each person and position. Hosts Ro Rox Roxy Roxanna Verwey and Nanoah Struik 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 act?

Through music, spoken word and collective dance ritual, we aim to heal ourselves and honour the ancestors. Together, we build a queer space of intimacy within which we can bridge our differences.

Line-up

The complete line-up will be released on 26 September.

Language

BECOMING is always a mix of  English (80%) and Dutch (20%), and also non-linquistic elements and vibes. The event will be presented in simple English. Some of our performances might be in Dutch.

If you don’t speak Dutch please join anyway, you will be able to follow enough of it!
