Atelier: En toen schiep God Mounir

In the stage solo En toen schiep God Mounir [And then God created Mounir], Mounir Samuel [1989] explores the boundaries of faith, gender and geography. Plenty of material at his disposal: he is a political scientist, writer and performer of Dutch-Egyptian descent. Mounir had a double coming out between 2011 and 2015. Once as a prominent bicultural and religious lesbienne, and once as a gender-queer man. Until then, he had been known as Monique Samuel. Through the use of story-telling, music, dance, audiovisual material and electronic hookahs [!], Mounir savours the question what true freedom is.
