• JOSHUA SERAFIN - MISS
(dance)
With 15 winners, the Philippines remains the powerhouse in international beauty contests of all kinds. Queen Philippines is also the largest and most prestigious contest for transgender women. In Miss, Filipino-born Joshua Serafin, unveils the politics, culture and practices behind the queer beauty industry. Zooming in on the strict regimes and choreographies of the industry, Serafin casts a critical eye on the codes of performativity typical of the transgender beauty contests of the Philippines, ‘where queerness explodes any fixed categorisation of femininity and fantasy’. Serafin based this work on interviews with a number of regional queens. In this way he unravels not only the mechanisms behind these contests but also the religious and colonial influences that can still be felt today.
• PROMIS3
(concert)
Belgian duo Promis3 is rising like a rocket. Their catchy mix of futuristic cyberpop, mind-blowing production skills and anime style has already built up a steady fan base. The chemistry between Andras and Brent creates dazzling live shows packed with energy. They get inspiration from game soundtracks, euphoric euro pop, shiny Japanise anime and 00s stadium trance. Single Future Funeral hit like an earthquake, just like their interpretation of Eiffel 65's euro classic Blue. Promis3 release their music on their own label and agency Simulated Paradise.
• BURENHINDER
(dj)
The afterparty is curated by all female rave collective Burenhinder. They started in 2021 as a multidisciplinary platform where female artists (djs, visual artists, ...) could network and grow safely. Burenhinder tackles themes such as gender inequality and transgressive behaviour in the club scene, fighting the stigma that feminine equals sweet and soft. How that sounds, you ask? High BPMs, distorted kicks, wicked rhythms. For this night, Burenhinder founders Instar and Waltur will go b2b, and they invite guest dj Stella K.
