Join us for A Wild Night at Boom Chicago, where everything comes together: performance, music, and unexpected moments. We take you into our world, a place where you are seduced, which chafes and disrupts, but where you are never let go. With hot performers and a program full of energy, inspiration, and extravaganza. It's going to be wild!

PowerPussBoi
Born between the moist walls of Club Church, PowerPussBoi (House Of Løstbois) has been rocking stages around The Netherlands since 2021. PowerPussBoi brings a campy reflection of society's view of gender ideals, representing a full circle of gender expression. Don’t get fooled by the cute eyes, as they will turn to fire when PowerPussBoi starts to dance.
Tom Dicke
The fantastic Tom Dicke will also be seen and heard during A Wild Night. Tom makes music that is 'genre-fluid', somewhere between classical with cabaret influences and minimalist jazz. As an accompanist and improviser, he tunes in to those with and for whom he plays. With Tom’s musicality, a whole new world will open up during A Wild Night.
Fernando Troya
Fernando Troya is a choreographer and performer whose practice emerges at the intersection of the erotic, the political, and the personal. His work treats the body as both archive and site of resistance. His pieces navigate the tension between control and surrender, exposure and concealment, fiction and lived experience. With Fernando in the house, we are sure the tension and temperature will rise.
