What happens when intimacy is not something you simply watch, but something you negotiate together?

OUT LOUD, TOGETHER invites you into a playful, sex-positive world of desire, boundaries and collective care. Drawing from practices developed within FLINTA sex-positive spaces, four performers bring drag, humour, physical play and intimate encounters into the theatre, blurring the distance between stage and audience.

Before entering, you choose a coloured hanky that signals how you would like to engage. Maybe you want to watch. Maybe you’re curious to come closer. Maybe you want to play. Your choice can change at any moment. There is no right way to participate. Watching is participating. Saying no is participating.

Changing your mind is, too.

Come as close as you want.

The performance draws from drag, burlesque, documentary material, kink practices, facilitation and nightlife. These languages are not presented as subcultural decoration. They become tools for asking theatrical questions about power, attention, vulnerability, embodiment and the social rules that determine who is allowed to want what.

Duration: 70 mins.
Language: English
Note: this performance includes stroboscopic light effects and balloon popping (with warning beforehand)

About Ari Ochoa / Alfa Hoer

A Latinx non-binary performance maker, drag artist and cultural producer based in Amsterdam.

About iAra Banchik Almasia

A Latin theatre maker and scenographer creating participatory experiences around intimate and often taboo conversations. Her practice combines performance, scenography,
documentary approaches and community engagement.

About Zahira Mous

Dance theater maker, performer, community organizer and group facilitator. Their work centers joy, (emotional) freedom and social justice. Zahira ties into the project from a performer’s perspective through her drag alter ego Patries. Zahira is the founder of Sappho Tantra, a playground for sensuality and emotional intimacy for queer women.

About Bustie La Tish

An advocate for intersectional feminism. In her energetic burlesque acts, Bustie creates lovable characters and takes you on a playful journey through dance and comedy that leaves you inspired and entertained. Her burlesque is a political statement about the erasure of atypical bodies, the acceptance of female sexuality and women having agency of their bodies.
