A True Story
71BODIES/ Daniel Mariblanca | NO
A True Story is a new performance by 71BODIES - the company of choreographer Daniel Mariblanca. In 2017, Mariblanca already made a big impression on Boulevard with his performance WOMAN and in 2018 he returned with the performance 71BODIES 1DANCE. Daniel Mariblance focusses in A True Story on transgender childhood, transgender parenting and family relationships.
Location
Maaspoort Den Bosch (sporthal)
Running time
90 min.
Genre
Vieren, Wereld en wij, Ongewone locaties
Choreographer Daniel Mariblanca collaborates in A True Story with national and international artists and creates a performance in which dance, live music, visual art and performance come together. The performance is based on the lives of the dancers themselves – children, teenagers and adults – who, like Mariblanca, are transgender.
Daniel: “We, transgender people, cannot go through a transition alone. We need all of society to make the transition with us. For this, we need to hear and consider all sides of the story. The essence of A True Story is to illuminate the complexity of all experiences; not only of the transgender person, but also how the family experiences the gender transition of their child, parent, partner or friend.”
A True Story is part of Lijn73, in which we work with makers who have or want to develop a special commitment to the city. This year these makers also seek out specific groups as audiences or co-makers in projects. This way Theaterfestival Boulevard continues to delve into and connect with the city and its inhabitants.
A True Story will have its Dutch premiere on Boulevard on Saturday the 12th of August at 15:00h.
