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!
Welcome to BECOMING Softness! This evening is dedicated to self-love, slowing down, and all-around fluffiness. We remind ourselves that we are fucking fantastic and support each other in this affirmation. By de-stressing, we recharge and collectively unravel the effects of capitalism on our health. We shake off the pressure to perform and focus on joy, love & care! By placing this at the center, we resist the capitalist system. It is an ode to the philosophy of Tricia Hersey: Rest is resistance.
Expect soothing music to dream away to, and stories about softness, community, care, healing, crip, and love. The time to rest is now!
Dresscode: Pijama, fluffy, relax
Details about the line-up will be announced three weeks before each event.
Good to know
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!
