F A G G O T S

Tibau Beirnaert, Laurens Aneca

F A G G O T S is a solo theatre performance by Tibau in which they take you to another planet.
After the hopeless male conquerors finally found a new habitable planet, they screwed it up there too. What if only the faggots survived for once? What would it be like? How are they adapted to living there? And how do they experience their days? The result is a strange search for less masculinity and more warm, loving queer futures, sensuality and softness that aims to offer solace.

F A G G O T S is a part of Love at first Sight #8. Discover the full programme here.

I am a romantic addict
In telling a story or doing an action
I always exaggerate
Or dramatize, as I like to think of it
This makes things more real…
I took the end once again
The end as a beginning
Not a mourning ritual
But one to build
A road that twists and turns
Only to end further
There is water somewhere in the middle
A bath,
Two meters long and barely 30 centimeters high
For the moments when we can be inflamed and learn to take care of ourselves again
To be a mother
Our own mother
In a world that wavers where I am too soft and feel rigor mortis more than once
In myself, the other
Sometimes for a moment, then again permanently
We wash each other and talk to the past
Beyond the meaning of washing we are not clean or pure
But it is unmistakably part of the intangible
At the fall of the encyclopedia the question is for whom
But my answer:
Take a bath together
I learned that I don’t have to try to be one of the men if I don’t want to
I never wanted to
So I stayed by myself and played in fantasy.
