KILLJOY-TO-BE

LASTESIS / NITE riders

Voor Nederlands, klik hier

KILLJOY-TO-BE is a collaborative performance by the LASTESIS collective and NITE riders, the junior company of NITE. Between AI fiction and a concert, the performance addresses the construction of narratives from digital platforms, the creation and wide spreading of content, its biases, strengths and dangers.

Inspired by the book ‘Is Now The Time For Joyous Rage?’ (2023) and ideas by Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed and Mark Fisher, ‘KILLJOY-TO-BE’ reflects in a fun, funny and super musical way on gender mandates, patriarchal and capitalist structures and the recent rise of fascism.

About LASTESIS

About NITE riders

NITE riders is the brand-new junior company of NITE, following in the footsteps of the Poetic Disasters Club (PDC) from Club Guy & Roni. This exciting initiative offers young creators/performers the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the art and groundbreaking techniques of creating interdisciplinary work – NITE-style.

Throughout an entire theatre season, the NITE riders participate in workshops, contribute to productions, and create their own graduation projects with guidance and support from the entire NITE family.
