At the beginning everything was trans, and that was so good.

FUTURE GARDEN / CLUB SABOTAGE proposes a rewritting of the founding myth of Genesis where the act of creating the world would no longer be limited to a beginning and an end.

From my experience as a trans woman and from the way my trans-ness rearranges the world every seven days, I will tell a genesis that would be a perpetual, collective and changing practice, a creation of the world in which to dip our hands.

At the crossroads of the Garden of Eden and the strip club, we will build alternative and fanciful narratives of Genesis, a text that justifies a rigid and binary gender system. We will do this with seriousness and humor, magic and poetry. From our marginal and socially deviant existences, cultivating transformations of self and our worlds to survive and above all, live.

Who can help me keep the show going on? Pulling a rope to turn my tray?

Who wants to slow dance to spread love?

Who can witness what is being built?

A birth is never a solitary event: it requires the cooperation of an entire assembly. To welcome it, everyone will have a role to find, to play, and actions to carry out.

These proposals to participate, physically and symbolically, will echo the difficulty of transitioning. To its cost in energy and resources, and to their depletion in me and on Earth.

FUTURE GARDEN / CLUB SABOTAGE is a solo that proposes a catharsis, but also a celebration of ourselves through pleasure, tenderness and desire that drives life,  revolutions, adventures  and the creation of futures for all of us. We will share love, gentleness, our struggles, our commitments to transform realities that are too violent and unjust.
