Herstory Edition

This pride it’s time to get existential… Where do we come from? Where are we going? And is there a setting spray that can make this all last forever?

The clowns are taking you on a journey through time exploring our own herstory, paying homage to the drag artists and communities at the forefronts of our queer rights and liberation movement. Join us as we travel across eras of gaggy, boots slayed, work it hunty divas – and most importantly the political message behind it ALL.

What came first: the body or the rhythm?

Two figures try to function. They optimize, repeat, accelerate. Their days unfold according to the logic of a simulation in which nothing can be wasted and every movement must serve a purpose. Until their bodies begin to fall out of sync.

Gay-Rire is a theatrical performance where singing and dance are fully integrated. The story takes place in the late 1980s and early 1990s in a conversion camp for young gay people that claims it can ‘cure’ them. Amid questions, confessions, violence, feelings and emotions, the young protagonists grow up within this unhealthy environment.

With their ’90s Noise rock riffs and primal screams coming from every fibre of their being, IT IT ANITA might seem pretty simple. But if you take the time to really listen, you’ll find some subtle nuances and intriguing depth. Besides seething fire there’s also intense desire, crippling fear, anger and restlessness.

After their acclaimed 2023 album “Mouche”, the follow-up “HI HI HA HA”, recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauvé (Birds in Row, Bison Bisou) was released on Vicious Circle Records (SLIFT, The Psychotic Monks, Lysistrata) in January 2026.
