wo years ago, Nadia Beugré met with members from the trans community of Abidjan, the city where Beugré was born and raised. Assigned as male when born, they live between genders in a society that – at best – denies their existence. Many work as hairdressers by day, and by night they are club divas who invent dance routines from styles such as voguing or coupé-décalé. They live underground, and they help each other.

Working with members from this community, Beugré developed a choreographic investigation on gender, identity and life on the fringe. It invites you to a hybrid space where the stage becomes a beauty salon, then turns into a dance floor. Nothing is immutable and each movement is an ode to the possibility of being several things at once. In a choreography sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive, Beugré speaks of the female condition, and of solidarity.
