BEAST!
Performance by Tarek Lakhrissi, with Makeda Monet and Victor da Silva
In English
BEAST! delves into utopian queer passions, rituals for lost ones and dark corners to protect oneself in.
Queers and People of Color were historically framed as monstrous. In his performance artist and poet Tarek Lakhrissi explores “bestiality” as a philosophical and political concept by drawing on this stigma. Accompanied by vocals of Makeda Monet and the electronic music of Victor da Silva, he reads his recent romantic yet radical poems.
