DOUBLE BILL: PROJECT FOOLS & PSALM 27
Dance theater about gender, queer liberation and 'soft power'
- Project Fools | Robin Nimanong
A dance project as a system in the Grid
Enter this digital world, where new options reveal themselves! Here the rebels of society break loose from within. Who are they and what is their true nature in the technology-driven world? There's only one rule in this game: "Keep going and when you stop... hit that reset button and start again." Remember, a real revolution has no script. This performance will premiere on April 25, 2025 in Maastheater, Rotterdam.
Project Fools is a daring exploration by Robin Nimanong, aka Lily, in collaboration with Ballroom artists Gato, Deion and Sugah. This dance performance delves into themes such as gender fluidity and queer liberation, and confronts a world of absurdism as the norm.
This social introspection is taken lightly, but with extreme care, into the world of Project Fools. Watch these alter egos navigate the cybergrid through a dynamic, interdisciplinary exploration of queerness. In collaboration with Guenter Råler for the visuals and music. And with Eva Marie-Louise for fashion. Together they unravel the binary into unexpected forms.

- Psalm 27 | Trevoga
Trevoga is the collective of AHK alumni Neda Ruzheva (BG), Antonina Pushkareva (RU), Erikas Žilaitis (LT) and Dovile Krutulyte (LT). 'Psalm 27 ' (Work in progress)' arises from the collective's obsession with 'soft power' and the sensual way the media seduces their viewers into obeying oppressive power structures.
An afterparty you never wanted to go to, a filler episode in your subconscious or another day stuck in the anteroom of hell. Trevoga invites his viewers on a journey through disjointed confessions, erotic undertones, body horror and their signature sterile minimalism. ‘Xx-63’ explores our most seductive escapes - a provocative exploration of why we “just dance” on the brink of collapse and whether we can free ourselves from the rhythms that poison our bodies and neglect our surroundings. ‘Psalm 27’ is an experiment from the early-stage process of new show “Xx-63” - premiering in July 2025.
The Queer After Lounge (9:30 PM - 11:00 PM)
With DJ Guenter Raler and the Utrecht Ballroom Scene. You are also welcome if you have not visited the Double Bill.
