Especially for Pride, a couple of guest curators of other programmes in Melkweg have selected an inspiring film, with a short introduction. Dino Suhonic of Maruf chooses Under the Moonlight by Tonny Trimarsanto from 2023.

The ever-cheerful Nur works as a cook at the Islamic boarding school Al Fatah in Yogyakarta, where all the adult students are transgender. Here they can live the way they choose to—in stark contrast with the hostile world outside, where transgender women are abused because their lives are said to be incompatible with Islam. “Say no to LGBT,” instruct the posters in the street, warning of a “contagious disease.” During their street performances, the women have to be constantly on the lookout for the police. Even when an Islamic extremist group comes to the school to forbid their activities, they cheerfully go on with daily life—cooking, praying, singing and occasionally taking an HIV test, all enlivened by self-deprecating jokes. Nevertheless, Al Fatah was closed down by the government in 2016, supposedly because the neighbors felt uncomfortable. But activities gradually resumed in 2021. Tonny Trimarsanto, who also made a previous film about transgender people in Indonesia (The Mangoes), filmed these slices of life in a relaxed style. His camera observes everything, without judgment.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.

Mr. Big

The American hard rock band Mr.Big saw the light of day in 1988. With the album ‘Lean Into It’ the band had their major breakthrough and stormed the Dutch charts with hits like ‘To Be With You’ and ‘Just Take My Heart’.

In 2024 the band is touring through Europe with 'The Big Finish'-tour. After the drummer and co-founder of the band, Pat Torpey, passed away, the band decided that this chapter of their legacy has come to an end. Drummer and friend of the band Nick D’Virgilio (known for his work in Spock’s Beard and Big Big Train), will be on the drums this tour.

Other than that, this will probably their last show on Dutch grounds, the band will make this an extraordinary evening and lay their iconic album 'Lean Into It' in full. And of course Mr. Big will play many other tracks of their renowned repertoire!

About The Living Room
The Living Room is a home for all Houses, founded in 2015 by Mother Amber Vineyard, where queer, trans and gender non-conforming young people can feel accepted, valued and empowered. A nurturing environment for the Dutch Ballroom scene, a learning place where the queer community can feel at home, but also find social support, develop their individual talents and get the tools they need to navigate the world with resilience.

NOTE
These workshops are Open to all genders and identities.

It is important to know that our Ball community takes a firm stance AGAINST racism, transphobia, sexism, queerphobia, ageism, ableism, body shaming, classism or any form of discrimination. We stand for equality, inclusivity, creativity, participation, learning, creating new experiences and above all, LOVE. Some may know about Vogue through Madonna, but the Ballroom Scene was created by and for African-American and Latinx LBGTQ+ communities, notably trans women and gay men, in Harlem, New York. All visitors/participants/guests will respect and celebrate the Ballroom culture and its roots. If you are not from this community - as a white and/or straight ally - know that you are welcome. We only ask you to be mindful of the space you take up and to respect the participants and their space.

Descendents

Slaughterhouse

March

Punk legends with a capital P. Descendents have been making waves in the Los Angeles punk scene since the 1980s. With records like 'Everything Sucks' and 'Milo Goes To College', the gentlemen have built up a repertoire full of brutal hardcore songs. In it, frontman Milo Aukerman sings about coffee, broken hearts and the hatred of your parents as a teenager.

The band started as a power trio in 1978 with bassist Tony Lombardo, drummer Bill Stevenson and guitarist Frank Navetta. But soon vocalist Milo Aukerman joined the trio. As a foursome, the typical Descendent album followed in 1982, which was also their debut, 'Milo Goes To College'. Know for its fusion of catchy melodies with raw, spastic energy (henceforward known as “power pop”, “melodic hardcore”, or the ever popular “pop punk”).
