A unique queer event exploring identity and sexuality through intimacy, party, sensuality, dialogue, art, and glitter. This edition focuses on body politics and the body positivity movement.
BECOMING Body Politics
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 Body Politics
This is the third edition of the series in The Hague. In this edition, curated by Nilay Ceber and Nanoah Struik, we explore the different facets of the body positivity movement and celebrate the bodies leading this revolution.
In a world full of unrealistic beauty standards, in which fat bodies, disabled bodies, hairy bodies, sick bodies, old bodies, queer bodies and so many others are negatively portrayed, how do we make room to radically love ourselves?
Line-up
The complete line-up will be released on 6 February.
Language
BECOMING is always a mix of English (80%) and Dutch (20%), and also non-linguistic 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!
