Transpofagic Manifesto - Renata Carvalho (Brazil)Transpofagic Manifesto is a courageous and thought-provoking work that challenges perceptions of gender non-conforming and transfeminine people. Through a radical expression of empowerment, Renata Carvalho subverts the obsessive scrutiny of trans bodies, distilling this gaze and transforming it into art, literature and education. OUT - Ray Young (UK)OUT is a defiant challenge to the status quo that bravely carves out a new kind of space, reclaiming and celebrating our queer future. This performance dances in solidarity alongside global 2SLGBTQIA+ movements, breaking down violent histories to imagine something new. Something liberated. Something delicious. Goldberg Variations - Clayton Lee (Canada)In Goldberg Variations, through an unapologetic investigation of desire, power dynamics and identity, Clayton Lee explores his childhood obsession with the professional wrestler Bill Goldberg and the impact it has had on his sexual and romantic history. The perplexing crossroads between dominance, submission, heartbreak and vulnerability are laid bare in this candid and thoroughly unconventional performance where fantasies are both indulged and deconstructed. BogotàVisceral and transgressive, BOGOTÁ constructs a brutalist landscape from choreography inspired by Colombia’s political and spiritual heritage. This raw, physical experience of transmutation and resurrection explores embodied origins, inherited mythologies and mortality, honouring the rebellion of deviant bodies and paying tribute to resilience within the post-colonial era.
