BECOMING
BECOMING is a fluid bubble full of depth. Each edition of this theatre series offers a different queer perspective on identity and sexuality. Visitors immerse themselves in intimacy, sensuality, dialogue, art and glitter! At BECOMING, more is better, vulnerability is strength, party is depth and everyone is queer.
The first edition took place in November 2021 in Amsterdam. Since then we produced 31 unique editions in theaters and musea in Amsterdam, Haarlem, The Hague and Utrecht.
For season 2026-2027 we have 13 new editions and six themes planned. Check the list of events below. And keep an eye on our IG: @becoming_community for details and updates.
