About Me & My Mother

Funny, emotional & psychological, this theater piece aims to heal the mother wound using Indie Nile’s signature “drag therapy”. In the show, Indie appears on the stage as a drag version of his mother. During the stand-up sections of the show, he speaks with his own voice as the man who struggles with the ‘love/hate’ relationship with his mother. During the lipsync parts, he becomes his mother as he lipsyncs to dramatic pop songs that tell her life story. In Indie’s own words: “I believe that when you are ready to laugh about your trauma, is when you’ve started healing it. That’s how I know I’m finally ready to tell you a story about me and my mother. The full story with all its highs and lows”.

Anto López Espinosa is a performance-based artist. Anto often uses sound, their own body and lip syncing as a tool to connect with their audience. Through their practice, Anto deploys various acoustic effects as a strategy to destabilize the way visual and sonic expectations interact, thus disrupting the fluency of the different sensory scales that compose a context. For this occasion, Anto is performing their performance “On your return, you offered me a hand full of voices“.

Dutch producer and multi-disciplinary artist, Yannick Verhoeven, has spent years refining his craft in the music industry. Whether it be as part of the music collective: Cairo Liberation Front, or founding his own festival called Eurabia, he’s proved himself to be visionary in alternative dance music and honing an ability to find hidden talents across the Middle East and Africa. Now, under his Ramses3000 solo alias, the artist is set to release his debut album Nadja – named after André Breton’s iconic novel centred around the French surrealist movement.

The book’s impact on the artist comes from its description of surrealism as a way of life. Constantly blurring the lines between dream and reality, Verhoeven found a world in which his creative endeavours can call home. With this project his ambition was to let go of all expectations and ideas and see where such an improvised approach would lead to. And so the album was born – placing the artist’s love for art, travel, and collaboration at its core.
