Diversity of gender and transgender issues take over Mad House Helsinki, when Transforces occupies Tiivistämö for two weeks. Transforces is a group of activists whose aim is to promote the diversity of gender and increase transvisibility and well-being.
Transforces on Stage is a set of performances, workshops, exhibitions, discussions, concerts and parties that all celebrate the diversity of gender and transgender topics.
Transforces has invited queer and trans artists from Denmark to Suvilahti. For four nights in a row there will be contemporary circus, performances, drag and burlesque shown on stage. Limits of art and gender will be pushed and tried!
Performers include Michiel Tange van Leuuwen, a contemporary circus performer specialised in aerial acrobatics, dance, and ballancing acts, the performance duo Miss Fish & Carla from Helle7ted, Ancient order that’s travelling all the way from the depths of Uranus, Christian Van Schijndel – a performance artist who combines burlesque and new cabaret and Bo Hagen Clausen, a transvestite-performer and an artist who brings on stage one of his most famous queer characters, Ramona Macho.
Transforces On Stage is curated and producer by Transforces founder and coordinator Annu Kemppainen.
