    Happy New Queer lands in Leuven on Friday, January 17!

    The enchanting Georgy Gorgeous—performer, drag queen, and prominent figure at Queer Leuven—hosts the city’s most delightful New Year's party alongside the powerful slam poet Sarah Bekambo. Francesca Birlogeanu weaves together the scattered pieces of herself and others in her New Year’s address, creating a new whole. Fabijoow brings Waacking to the stage, the club style born in the disco era's underground queer clubs of Los Angeles. Performance artist Celine dazzles us with gender-bending, glittery jockstraps, glass-licking, and shapeshifting—their favorite obsessions. Maxime Dreesen will play a mini-concert with brand-new music from his alter ego, Tabooboo. The cherry on top: a performance by Mama Tituba, drag queen and political activist from Brussels.

    And then there’s an extensive program in the foyer (featuring N E N A, among others)… stay tuned, but make sure to get your tickets in time!

    Traditional music from Istanbul and from the Silk Roas meets Greek tradition with a contemporary twist.

    Erini (GR/US)

    Singer Erini grew up in a musical family on the island of Crete, where her mother introduced her to the Greek-Anatolian musical tradition. Her passion for singing was born.

    After studying at Berklee, she created a new sound by combining her native tradition with genres such as jazz, pop and classical music, with a concert at the legendary Carnegie Hall as finale. She has collaborated with artists such as Danilo Perez, Terri Lyne Carrington and Daniel Hop and over 1 million people heard her sing when she toured with Cirque du Soleil. She visits 30 cc with a new album.

    Dareyn (NL/RU/TR)

    For Emine Bostancı, it was love at first hearing: the combination of her own kamancheh - the traditional Anatolian knee violin - with Maya Fridman's cello. These two string instruments engage in a passionate and melancholic dialogue and are the core of the ensemble Dareyn. “Dareyn” means “two worlds” in Ottoman Turkish and, indeed, the ensemble brings two worlds together: the East and the West. Four top musicians take the audience on a magical journey in a unique and enchanting soundscape. Discover music that draws from Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish and African sources.
