BUST

Upcoming 2026/2027 in co-production with Tanzhaus Basel


What stories does a chest carry? Some are visible on our skin or clothes –

physical traces of struggle, transition, or affirmation. Others are hidden

beneath the ribcage – embodied memories of love, fear, grief, rage. And

some are projected onto the chest by others – roles and meanings that

shift from one era to the next.

BUST is a queerpunk performance crossing dance, live music, and

(wearable) sculpture. Together, we crack open its dizzying archive,

exhaust the boundaries of what is normal, acceptable, or even legal,

catch our breath, and follow our hearts toward a wilder future.
