Tineke Schouten: De Schouten Schoenen Aan
Registration of the theatre program by the Dutch comedian Tineke Schouten. Schouten is taking a different approach to her show. She's not just hiding behind a costume; no, you see more of Tineke herself, the things that keep her busy. She's been through some turbulent times; the world has been turned upside down. How do you hang up the banners then? And does Tineke really have a fetish for shoes, phones, or computers? Maybe she should give her unvarnished opinion or have a deeper conversation! Of course, Tineke will join the audience in putting things into perspective and laughing at our own shortcomings, interspersed with songs, accompanied by top-notch musicians.
Underneath the Sequence, Rage: a History of Drag
The art of drag represents an artistic transformation where individuals create characters by amplifying gendered traits, challenging established social norms. This practice, known for its spectacular performances, has evolved through periods of repression and acceptance. Through humor and self-mockery, drag disrupts conventions and is deeply rooted in the history of LGBT+ movements. This documentary traces the history of Drag in France and around the world, from William Dorsey Swann—a young emancipated slave considered the first drag queen—to RuPaul, Nicky Doll, and Paloma. Featuring contributions from historians, anthropologists, and sociologists specialized in drag, as well as testimonies from drag artists who are shaping or have shaped this history.
