Way over there the light | Boykid

Carte blanche for Boykid, a Belgian poet and slammer, around Tout là-bas la lumière, his first autobiographical solo theatrical show. Through archives, images, and landscapes, Boykid explores the impact of his trans identity and his experience of disability on his self-construction and his family ties. A meeting and discussion around the themes of the show: trans and disabled identities, family ties, self-construction, and the way the intimate can become a space of resistance, creation, and emancipation. Practical Info ✷ Tout là-bas la lumière is presented from November 4 to 20, 2026 at the Théâtre des Riches-Claires. Boykid Boykid was born in a gust of mistral wind. Since then, he wanders in search of meaning and identity. A fierce trans, disabled poet and Sunday cyclist, he uses words and images to do justice to bodies and shadowy areas. He is a member of the Brussels collective Poetik Queer and vice-champion of Slam 2024 in Belgium. In 2025, he wrote his first show Tout là-bas la lumière co-produced by the Maison des Métallos (Paris) and the Théâtre des Riches-Claires (Brussels).
