Blooming - Carl Aquilizan

Blooming is a continuation of the solo project Flower boy by Carl Aquilizan, and addresses experiences around gender norms and queerness with a starting point to challenge gender stereotypes. The open
interaction between dance, music, lighting and costumes attempts to expand the understanding of the masculine and the feminine, the male and the female, and illuminate the endless space in between. In a community of queer artists, we search for safe spaces where people can be vulnerable and express themselves freely.

The project is specifically designed for young people, but is open to everyone.
