BECOMING: Queering your friday night with fluid theater, dialogue, art and party
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 Theater Kikker we present four editions: A Rainbow Family, Decolonized, Trans & Loved and A Ball.
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 still be able to follow enough of it!

Welcome to BECOMING A Rainbow Family: the first edition of the series in Utrecht! On this evening, everyone is more than welcome. Within the warm vibe, you will be lovingly welcomed by hosts Rikkert van Huisstede and Sharmila Gabbana, and flooded with stories about rainbow parents, drag houses and chosen families. It will be an evening full of trouble and joy, where we will celebrate the stories of brave people who add new scenarios to the family spectrum. The guests of the evening have chosen non-normative family compositions: solo, trans parents, multi-parenthood, queerness in parenthood and polyamory. For example, Rikkert has been a rainbow father for two years now and Sharlima elaborates about the trans women and the queer community who took her under their wing when she was younger.
