Frictions #2 - Scared

On 18 January 2024, Frictions Festival and Queer Parkstad invited everyone to an exciting evening at SCHUNCK Glaspaleis. 

With the theme ‘scared’ - one of the four basic emotions - the audience enjoyed talks, performances, workshops, music and an interactive exhibition.

There was a musical performance by White Canvas and Gigi Love. Then in the auditorium was the performance ‘The Fear of Queer’, by Sammy Malary: an emotional journey, where sadness, anger, fear and joy came together in a powerful story. Read more about Sammy in the interview about this performance below. 

The programme continued with the documentary ‘Verstoten’ by Claire Slingerland, about homeless rainbow youth in the Netherlands. The evening ended with social drinks, music and the opportunity to talk about the impressive documentary.
