CN Lester, Travis Alabanza, Andra Simons, They They Theys

The Transpose series, now in its fifth year, arrives at the Barbican for the first time.

Curated by and featuring CN Lester, an influential singer-songwriter and activist, it features spoken word, mixed media, original music and video art.

Artists from the queer and trans communities deconstruct myths and challenge ideas on gender, sexuality and inclusion for a reflective and inspirational evening that is raw, hard-hitting and humorous.
 
Alongside Lester, creative voices include the wave-making Barbican Young Poet Travis Alabanza, and Andra Simons, a Bermudian who blends narrative, film, myth and body into attention-grabbing pieces. Guardian columnist Juliet Jacques delves into alternative storytelling while five-piece experimental band, They They Theys, plays live.
