Pan~// Catwalk Mixed & Abled

Clothing is more than just fabric and threads; every day we grow into what we wear. We look, are looked at, and interpret each other's clothing choices. From zip-off pants to glitter dresses, clothing is an expression of who we are, who we want to be, and sometimes need to be.

Zwermers and Speels Collectief join forces to create a performance with a mixed-ability group of performers (people with and without disabilities). The inspiration for this show comes directly from the wardrobes of the participants. We explore the diversity of humanity, question, and broaden the meaning of 'normal'. This performance took place at Zwermen over Assisië on May 4, 2024, and at Theaterroute NABIJ on May 25 & 26, 2024. To be continued!
