BONJOUR MADEMOISELLEKE
About embarrassing moments in the fry shop
and mothers who come out of telephones.
About small thoughts that become bigger
and big feelings that shrink.
About hormones and a growing moustache,
about wearing skirts and armpit hair.
About girls and boys and pigeonholes.
Or maybe it’s not all that black and white?
In BONJOUR MADEMOISELLEKE, Lukas’ love for theatre and illustration meet. This performance is a live graphic novel that unfolds one drawing at a time. In this visual quest for gender identity, Lukas takes inspiration from conversations, situations and feelings he has experienced himself. This stream of images, thoughts, words and feelings is accompanied by live melodica, accordion and electric organ.
BONJOUR MADEMOISELLEKE is a performance for young and old where subjects like identity, gender, and the search for yourself are presented with a healthy dose of curiosity, care and humour.
Winner of the Boze Wolf prize for ‘up-and-coming talent’ at the Boze Wolf Festival 2025.
