Non Binary _ Live
by Raj Alexandru Udrea
Synopsis |
| |
|
Non Binary _ Live is an intimate and unfiltered multimedia dialog & confession, where identity its under the edge of binartiy. In between jokes, memories, and dilemmas, essential questions about identity, vulnerability, and what it's like to live at the intersection of genders creep in.
I discover x
my x
I get lost in x
Among other things I find myself
I am restoredx.
Hypocritx or not, I open up and analyze myself, I contort emotionally through a rudimentary verbal language,
Easy to understand, to perceive, to blow. |

Adam, the Lucky Charm
by Ada Mușat (ADAM)
Synopsis |
| |
|
In Adam, the Lucky Charm a non-binary and neurodivergent artist invites you into the living room of their universe. Through a mix of personal thoughts and real conversations, they share pieces of their lived experience, both as a quiet protest against labels and as a reflection on the mental and emotional impact of navigating others’ expectations. |

me / you / he / she / you all / they | never us
by Omotă
Synopsis |
| |
|
This text, me / you / he / she / you all / they | never us, is a poem about us, about those who do not feel, live, or express ourselves within these binary norms. Written for a performance, it follows the journey of a mermaid child / or a child who wants to be one / who realizes they do not identify as either a boy or a girl but cannot define it yet. Along this journey, they recount childhood memories, adolescent stories, incidents of toxic relationships, or moments of internalized homophobia/transphobia. |

The theme music of ALL GENDER, composed by BORUSIADE, is an anthem of gender diversity with the motto "Have you seen the writings on the wall?" and the perpetual revolution of queer people to have a voice in a heteronormative world. |
