  2. Trans podium

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6-8, Amsterdam

    Trans podium

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6-8, Amsterdam

    Deze zomer keert Trans Podium terug naar Paradiso. Tijdens deze avond krijgen transgender personen de kans om hun stem letterlijk en figuurlijk te laten horen op het podium. Zoals eerdere edities lieten zien, kun je een veelzijdige avond verwachten met optredens van deelnemers die hun talent delen: van zang en spoken word tot instrumentale muziek en andere vormen van performance. Er is ruimte voor expressie, zichtbaarheid en het vieren van stemgeluid in al zijn vormen.

    De avond vindt plaats midden in Amsterdam Pride, wanneer lhbtiq+ organisaties in de stad een maand lang activiteiten organiseren rondom zichtbaarheid, gemeenschap en de vrijheid om jezelf te zijn. Dit jaar krijgt die periode een extra lading: voor het eerst komt ook WorldPride naar Amsterdam, ter ere van het feit dat het 25 jaar geleden is dat hier het eerste huwelijk tussen mensen van hetzelfde geslacht werd voltrokken.
