“Trans*Performativity” proposes the intersection between artistic research and practice, digital and physical elements, and the trans community and society. Based on the premise of how to transpose our experience as trans people into a work with an artistic, cultural and social impact.  

Movement represents processes of transformation and metamorphosis. The scenography proposes an innovative and safe space. The costumes weave individual and collective identity, and the light design gives visibility to underrepresented issues, allowing the audience to perceive, understand and participate freely. 

“Trans*Performativity” is an innovative project, designed by trans people for everyone, which promises to diversify and decolonise the artistic and cultural field, with the inherent support of the artistic and technical team, partner entities and the audience. 

It was first developed in Portugal with two casts of local performers (1 based in Porto and 1 in Lisbon), and was presented at fAUNA | Teatro da Didascália (Famalicão), A Gráfica – Centro de Criação Artística (Setúbal), TMP Campo Alegre x Instável – Centro Coreográfico (Porto) and mono x Temps d’Images (Lisbon) and will be on tour until 2025 across Haarlem (The Netherlands), Sofia (Bulgaria), Miranda do Douro, Vila Verde, Mesão Frio, Armamar, V.N. Foz Côa and Velas. The new phase includes the production and touring with a new cast based in the UK across Nottingham Contemporary (Nottingham), FABRIC x Fierce Festival (Birmingham), Yorkshire Dance x Queer Encounters (Leeds), and Omnibus Theatre x 96 Festival (London).
