ALL ABOUT US

Searching for authenticity in a world that celebrates queerness only when it’s convenient.

When is the fight for the queer community truly genuine,

and when is it exploited for political or commercial gain?

All About Us is an interdisciplinary collaboration between musician Jonathan Bonny (winner Fringe at Best award 2024) and dancer Manuel Kiros Paolini. Together, they turn the spotlight on pinkwashing by forming the controversial performance duo Pink Armada, inspired by the iconic Russian pop duo t.A.T.u.

All About Us combines the spectacle of a commercial pop show with the vulnerability of an intimate dance piece. Through this absurd, aggressive ánd vulnerable performance, the makers expose how queer narratives are exploited for political and commercial gain. Buckle up for a trip through glitter-soaked propaganda and queer truths, fueled by hyperpop bangers and high-energy dance.

All About Us received a ⭐️critic's choice⭐️ review (in Dutch) in Theaterkrant, read the full review here.

"Het sterke aan All About Us is dat zo niet alleen het heteronormatieve systeem wordt bekritiseerd, maar ook de manier waarop delen van de queer community andere gemarginaliseerde groepen onder de bus gooien ten behoeve van hun eigen gevoel van veiligheid. In de geweldige songs en hilarische monologen wordt op groteske maar toch complexe wijze de intersectionaliteit van onderdrukking getoond, en de manieren waarop onderlinge solidariteit door het systeem wordt ondermijnd."
