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.
