I ❤️ Performance

Taous Bertrand / Pablo Alamá / in collaboration with WOEKER
Fri 13 Nov and Sat 14 Nov

The worthy successor to I Love Techno is…

More than ten years ago, Ghent said goodbye to the legendary I Love Techno, but CAMPO is filling the gap in Ghent’s nightlife with I ❤️ Performance. 


You might think of performance as art that no one can make head or tail of, but make no mistake: this is the frontline of contemporary art. A few times a year, we transform CAMPO nieuwpoort into an arena for that moment’s most exciting names. Prepare for wild nights where the line between 'genius' and 'far-fetched' completely blurs. Because you LOVE performance!


On the programme for Friday:

Nymph (2025) is a 45-minute solo in which Taous Bertrand explores the figure of the nymph as a mythological character, a reference to female anatomy and a metaphor for affect. Moving through echo, rupture and grace, she translates the transfeminine experience into a choreography where body, sound and invisibility meet. The nymph becomes a body that reinvents itself: fluid, tender and resilient.

 

On the programme for Saturday:

In How to Fuck a Macho with a Vagina, Pablo Alamá shares his experience as a trans man in a world that still has plenty of questions about trans bodies and gender. With humour and self-irony, he takes the audience through familiar and sometimes awkward situations around coming out, dating, masculinity and the way other people look at his body. Starting from his own story, he makes space for something that is still too often missing: the visibility of trans men and the many different ways of being trans.

WOEKER is a new multidisciplinary arts festival organised by the Antwerp Queer Arts Festival in collaboration with Genderspectrum and many other partners. It will take place from 13 to 29 November 2026 in Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven, Hasselt, Bruges and Brussels. During Transgender Awareness Week, WOEKER will showcase film, visual art, performance, music and other artistic projects by trans, intersex, agender, non-binary and gender-fluid creators. The name WOEKER refers to life that, sometimes against the tide, always finds new paths. With this in mind, the festival celebrates the richness, resilience and imagination of gender-diverse artists and communities.
