Het optreden van Jeangu Macrooy tijdens het Eurovisie Songfesival maakte grote indruk op ARIAH LESTER maker en performer bij Productiehuis Theater Rotterdam. Daarom wilde Lester voor deze aflevering van OFFBEAT graag Marcrooy ontmoeten. Het volgen van je dromen en daarbij trouw blijven aan je eigen intuïtie is de rode draad in hun gesprek. Voor Lester betekent dat het verkennen van nieuwe vormen van zelfexpressie, ook al voelt dat soms kwetsbaar en spannend. Want: een slechte recensie doet pijn, maar hoe erg is het eigenlijk echt? En op wie heeft dat invloed, de artiest zelf of het publiek? Astrologie én Rupaul’s Drag Race zijn bronnen van steun en inspiratie voor Lester. Spiritualiteit, verbinding en het belang van representatie zijn dan ook terugkerende thema’s in deze levendige uitwisseling tussen twee artiesten.
Jeangu Macrooy's performance during the Eurovision Songfesival made a big impression on ARIAH LESTER, maker and performer at Production House Theater Rotterdam. Because of that, Lester wanted to meet Marcrooy for this episode of OFFBEAT. Following your dreams and staying true to your own intuition is the common thread in their conversation. For Lester, that currently means the exploration of new forms of self-expression, even if it sometimes feels vulnerable and scary. Because: a bad review hurts, but how bad is it really? And who does it have influence on, the artist themselves or the audience? Astrology and RuPaul’s Drag Race are sources of support and inspiration for Lester. Spirituality, connection, and the importance of representation are therefore recurring themes in this lively exchange between two artists.
