Happy New Queer
Get ready for Happy New Queer in Antwerp! Dena Vahdani, your favorite queer Iranian stand-up comedian and our radiant host, will lead you through an evening full of surprises. Gustavo Vieira blends reality and fiction in a powerful performance (concept by Marlla Araújo) and gets our hips moving with their fiery take on Brazilian funk. Margot Delaet, the photography talent behind A Night Called Quest, shares a heartfelt queer New Year’s letter. And don’t miss the charming, bold, and vulnerable “matcho” drag kings Dicklan and Raoul les mécanniques. Finally, Celine Micheli takes the stage to share their transmasculine desires, dreams, rage, and passion for justice in an intense performance.
We’re taking over not just the main hall but the foyer too! Get love advice from new jurist and love judge Icy Pampella, explore an interactive art project by Fenn-Jonah, and maybe cap off your evening with a tattoo by Feetje.
