"Tomasi and Bifulco exude immense love and acceptance toward each other, as if they’ve found in each other the sisters they never had." Theaterkrant
About the makers
Isadora Tomasi is a performance and sound artist based in Amsterdam. A graduate of the DAS Theatre MA (2023) and AHK's Bachelor's in Mime, Isadora's work blends movement, writing, singing, and music. Inspired by queer and feminist theorists like Sara Ahmed and Paul B. Preciado, she challenges dominant narratives and societal expectations. By exploring personal experience and discomfort, Isadora aims to deconstruct systems of supremacy and create spaces for solidarity, believing impactful change often starts at the micro level. During her residency at Frascati Producties she developed her graduation performance big small otherwise, which can now be seen during Fringe.
Rita Bifulco is a performance and sound artist based in Amsterdam. She completed her bachelor's in Mime at AHK, where she also serves as student advisor and teacher. In 2020, she co-founded “Mime fabriek,” a platform for the mime and performance community, organizing residencies and workshops. Rita's performances explore absence, blending personal memories and mythological elements through movement, sound, and textiles.
Konstantinos Chatsikypraios, aka Koko, is a professionally trained theatre performer from Greece. He pursued an MA in International Dramaturgy at AHK. In September 2024, Koko began performing drag and joined the House of Hopelezz. Koko’s artistic practice explores queer identity, fluidity, and the perception of self. Committed to moving beyond binary frameworks, Koko embraces a fluid, ever-evolving approach to identity.
