Willkommen! Bienvenue ! Welcome ! Ladies, Gentlemen und iedereen beyond the binario. Our opening ceremony will bring us together at the cabaret. A place that has seen the birth of a broad community, free to exist as it is.
This event will be held twice, so that all festival-goers will be able to attend, taking into account the capacity of the venue : Henry Le Boeuf concert Hall (Bozar).
Featuring...
Welcome to the Cabaret! For the festival’s opening ceremony, we’re taking you into a world that gave rise to a large community free to be exactly as they were. There, you’ll meet Esther Bouncee. A trained dancer and actress, she is now making her mark on the burlesque scene with a unique style where sensuality and humour intertwine.
Welcome to the Cabaret, where you can catch Kimi Amen’s performance. After nearly ten years inhabiting a nocturnal creature with feminine traits, he is now shifting towards an exploration of queer masculinities. Drawing on cinematic imagery, his world plays on the contrasts between beauty and turmoil, coldness and sensuality. His performances, both graphic and embodied, unfold narratives with multiple layers where melancholy, desire and power intersect.
