TRANS/FORM at Circomedia
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Back for an blockbuster fourth year running; boundary-defying drag-theatre from queer performance art collective House of Boussé! Part visceral reclamation narrative against hateful media rhetoric, part self-proclaimed “trannified version of The Magic School Bus”, Trans/Form is an embodied journey into the beauty and power of trans+ experiences. "

A event held at Circomedia on Thursday 28th May. The event starts at 19:30.


Look inside us, we know you want to. You’re curious; what makes us tick? What’s between our legs? What is it that makes us… human?

Are we everything you’ve read about?

This is a retaliation against the media mania and dissection of trans bodies, where our emotions and experiences are splayed on a cold operating table.

You’re invited to bite our nails, peel our skin tags, in an interactive journey merging cabaret, drag and performance art.

TRANS/FORM is a drag x theatre show weaving together a selection of trans stories and experiences. Our Bristol dates will have two endings, this is the love ending.
