Event information
Join us for an evening of ‘Solo Journeys’, exploring identity and belonging through Dance and Film.
Bichu
Abel Atsede with Phosphoros Theatre
‘Bichu’ is an exploration of a lost soul trying to find peace in the storm. The storm leads him towards bottles and pills. A lost person searching for childhood joy, for connection. Abel Atsede brings his experience as a queer, refugee artist to this dance piece, created with and produced by Phosphoros Theatre.

Transitory: Between the Feminine and Masculine
Bellas Da Silveira
Transitory is a powerful solo performance by Bellas da Silveira, a trans and Black artist from Brazil. Blending Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance, the piece explores what it means to live between the feminine and the masculine.
Inspired by Bellas' own journey of gender transition, it challenges expectations around race, gender, and identity. Told through movement and music, Transitory is intimate, emotional, and bold - offering audiences a rare chance to witness a story of transformation, resilience, and joy.

I Abide
Cemil Yildiz
I ABIDE immerses the audience in the midst of a Parisian summer in the Aubervilliers quartier. Through the eyes of two women working with the association Coucou Crew, director Cemil Yildiz highlights the experiences of unaccompanied minors living on the streets: forced anonymity, isolation and the daily struggles that come with slipping through the cracks.
Through art, storytelling and theatre, the women and the participants find a path to a new community.
Please Note: the venue for this event is expected to change, but will remain in close proximity to the city centre. We will notify you of any changes via email.
