A dance performance about every person’s right to be free. Premiere together with Teaterföreningen BANG
Four artists, newly written club music from West Asia and lipsync remind us that queers always lead the dance of freedom!
A dance performance about every person’s right to be free. The art group Ful reminds us that freedom of movement is not free, but always worth fighting for! Through forbidden movements between the streets of Tehran and Swedish drag clubs, we get to follow the role of dance in both large and small freedom struggles. Baba karam and Bollywood share the stage with protest dances from different parts of the planet to highlight the struggle for freedom.
The work highlights the potential of commonality and the transformative power of individual actions.

Drag pre-party
Pre-party with drag and creativity fore each performance, we invite you to a workshop – a queer hangout open to anyone who is curious about and wants to try drag. There will also be an opportunity for creative and inspiring talk. The purpose is to warm up together for the performance and to really get the mood up, the artists also come and visit! Sign-up required due to limited places: ap@dansstationen.nu
Welcome to a queer pre-party hangout open to both those of you who are curious about testing drag as well as those who’ve already found their inner drag personas and want to dive a little deeper. We’ll be warming up together for the performance Rörelse Frihet – genom baba karam och andra danstillstånd, so come on down, get up in drag with us and meet other stars in your local area. During the pre-party we’ll also be graced by the performers from the show! All people and experience levels welcome!
Drag is resistance. We are raised to dress right, act right and not be “too much.” Drag throws this out the window, puts a finger up at the rules, and gives us the space to play, scream, shout, and let our queer joy shine out.
In this session, led by drag performer Sam Message we’ll be tapping into the joy that drives resistance and dragging up together in preparation for Konstgruppen Ful’s performance Rörelse Frihet. This will be a space for exploration that’s open for as much or as little dragging as you like. So whether you’re an old hat, a total beginner or a curious soul then come down to our little queer oasis and get ready with us! You also get to meet the show’s artists, who will join us at the pre-party.
Make up and costumes
We’ll be supplying various materials – make-up, costumes, and wigs – but we encourage you to bring whatever you have too, for that special personal touch!
Drag is a queer art form, but this session is open to all. We’re here to build bridges, learn about each other, and push boundaries. After all, we could all use a little more drag in this world.
