Drag performance Kurt Dickriot is a drag king character well known in the Amsterdam queer scene. He was born out of the need to make fun of boys who think that they don’t need to do anything to look cool, just stand there and be. In his shows he is often presenting in a comical way his habitual self-destructive relation to pleasure dominated by alcohol and masturbation. He usually lip syncs to dramatic boy songs, such as Justin Timberlake or Blue, often after a break-up. By the end of his career, he tried to improve and got sober, but with soberness came unknown feelings such as feelings of guilt. Out of guilt he started to cut his dick in pieces and offer them to the audience members but after a few months of doing so, he got an infection and unfortunately left this world forever. In his last shows he shared the stage a few times with Saito’s other alter egos, Lady Dada and The Confused Version of Clara Saito Concept and performance: Clara Saito

Event, performance, 90 minutes Black Circus is a collective of performers incarnating different visions of queer and anarchist thoughts and ideas. This show features individual and group performances that range from dance and music to spoken word and robots. Burlesque or cabaret can serve as a reference, but Black Circus always aim to push the boundaries of known disciplines and blur the lines between cheesy, camp and performance art. Usually the show culminates in a party where spectators and performers can meet and transform together. Black Circus is based in Amsterdam and started as a performance night in the former squatted social space Antarctica in 2012. The performance night and parties that followed became popular and were presented in different alternative venues such as Vrankrijk and the Ship of Fools. In 2016 a regular group emerged and started to tour other countries as well. Concept: Clara Saito With: Bear Silver, Samuel Hughes Eddy, Erika P. Martin , Julian Muller, Nicolas Roses, Emy Fem and Clara Saito
