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 Trans & Loved: the second edition of the series in The Hague!  This evening offers a loving counterbalance to the increasing violation of transgender rights worldwide. During this evening we show resilience and show resistance, by telling powerful stories and strengthening the community.

While society continues to seek conflict with the trans body, by interfering with the rights and freedom of movement - where can they pee, can they have children, what is in their passport, and can they change their body - during this event the focus is on love and empowerment.

This evening is an activist, emotional rollercoaster ride where all kinds of non-mainstream stories share the stage. Expect music, storytelling, documentary film, depth and a warm feeling of collectivity.

Line-up

The complete line-up will be released on 20 November.

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!
