    Bye bye 2025 & here we go, 2026!

    After a year overflowing with drag mayhem, sexiness, machissimo, otherworldliness, oddities, sweetness, and rebellion; and 6 unforgettable editions, we bonded, gathered, laughed, and cried together in beautiful queer chaos.

    After much suspense about what 2026 would bring for MATES & MASCara, we are thrilled to announce: we’re back!

    So mark your calendars and ask your crush, lover(s) or bestie to join us for our first edition of 2026: a Valentine’s special you won’t want to miss.

  2. My body is a temple, until it isn’t

    My body is a temple, until it isn’t

    By QPFA @ Plein Theater, Sajetplein 39, Amsterdam

    n auto-fictional theatre performance by two (trans) non-binary lovers during their personal search for physicality, identity, and gender. Against the backdrop of an increasingly radicalizing world, they explore a more unguarded, unapologetic attitude by claiming their bodies as a construction site rather than a temple.

    At the center of the stage stand two folded, twisted aluminum cubes, partially covered by semi-transparent latex curtains. The set evokes both a nightmare-like operating room and an industrial cocoon or a life-size three-dimensional puzzle. In any case, this space embodies the inner world of An and Lucian—this is their space. Here, they do not have to apologize and can shamelessly explore their trans identity.

    Both have a curious and complex relationship with their bodies, as a result of dysphoria, endless attempts to accept their biologically assigned sex, socially imposed transphobia, or simply because bodies can be alienating. In any case, they attempt to gain control over this physicality by adapting it to their own vision. They experiment with orthoses—sculptural bodily extensions that allow them to redefine everything. This act of redefining takes place out loud, with the audience as accomplice. New extensions are tested, old beliefs are dismantled. Again and again, the knife goes in—literally and figuratively.

    Their bodies are approached as a construction site: fluid, unfinished and in constant transition. This claim shifts the perspective away from sexualization, misgendering, and dysphoria, toward play, pleasure, euphoria, and self-determination.

  3. Sasha Velour

    RAI Theater, Europaplein 24, Amsterdam

    Sasha Velour

    RAI Theater, Europaplein 24, Amsterdam

    On Friday, May 23, 2026, world-famous drag artist Sasha Velour will perform her brand-new stage show, Travesty, at the RAI Theater in Amsterdam. The performance is part of Velour's European tour and promises a radical, visually stunning evening that brings together drag, performance art, and queer history.

    Travesty is an 80-minute, one-queen show without intermission, written and directed by Sasha Velour herself. In the performance, she takes the audience through the hidden queer history of a single location through time: from a witch burned at the stake to a clown building a theater and an underground gay bar rebelling against police brutality. With impressive lip-sync performances, layered costumes, and powerful imagery, Velour explores themes of existence, resistance, and the transformative power of drag.

    The show is both performance art and a call to action. Travesty celebrates drag as a universal art form and emphasizes that playing with gender, identity, and stories is as old as humanity itself. As Velour describes it: "This is the purest and most radical form of drag I've ever brought to the stage. No excuses, no explanations, just art."

    Sasha Velour achieved global fame as the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race and is praised for her emotional live performances and iconic visual style. She previously toured internationally with the successful shows Smoke & Mirrors and The Big Reveal, and performed at leading venues such as the London Palladium and Folies Bergère.
