An intimate experience about safety, identity and resistance.

In Cis-tem Error the Libanese queer performer Nadim Bahsoun invites you to a warm, seemingly safe space. What follows is not an ordinary performance, but an immersive experience that takes you along via hidden corridors, stairs and twilit places into the wings of the theatre. In these dark hiding-places an intimate ritual unfolds full of stories, smells, tastes, song and dance. In the dark Bahsoun tells us about his search for safety, about war and colonial traumas and about the indomitability of this grandmother Amina, a woman who rebuilt her house – symbol of resistance- with her own hands after it was burnt down by the French army looking for an activist.

Cis-tem Error is not a performance to lean back comfortably but a physical moving and an emotional journey that takes you along to the core of what it means to be homeless. At the same time it is an ode to family, tradition and the power of queer existence.

“To protect myself, but also my parents, my artistic practice and later my sexuality, I had to go in search of spaces and societies where I could freely express my identity.”

Nadim Bahsoun is a Lebanese queer artist and performer who lives and works between Europe and the countries of the Arab world. His work starts from his personal history, coloured by war, migration and a continuous search for the right to exist as a queer Arabic person. As a child he collected olives and za'atar with his grandmother in South Lebanon ; as an artist he transforms these memories into politically charged performances that question patriachal, colonial and capitalist systems.
