Becoming Laziza
An evening where you’ll discover how this drag queen
was born and continues to be reborn with every show.
Part of the Alumni in Residence programme by AIL.
Throughout their residency, Jona Wolf is making the studio space as accessible as possible. They
will activate it by screening films by other trans artists and hosting a workshop and performance.
This
act shows the transition from getting ready as one person to becoming another at the final performance. Inspired by the book
Becoming Michelle Obama.
Laziza Vuitton is a drag queen performing in Slovakia and Vienna.
She started two years ago, and her career is becoming more and more successful. She lip-syncs, sings live, and dances. She
creates most of her costumes and choreographs her own performances. She even has her own music video. "She is a firework queen
on a glitter parade."
Jona Wolf studied architecture at Studio Greg Lynn and Studio Wolf
D. Prix and graduated in 2015. Jona Wolf is Alumni in Residence at AIL in September and October. During their residency at
AIL, Jona will create a series of works exploring how cultural body norms and beauty standards reinforce the gender binary.
The project aims to empower the gender fluidity of trans people while also raising awareness of how gender norms affect and
restrict everyone in society.
