DIWRIZIENNET – Lost Genealogies investigates queer identity through the lens of roots and heritage. “Diwriziennet,” Breton for “uprooted,” explores the tension between belonging and emancipation.
Growing up queer in rural Brittany, where queer lives were absent or silenced, the performance reflects on what is left behind when leaving home to define oneself. It builds an archive of memory, silence, and resilience, blending rituals, folk dance, and scenography. Diwriziennet is a celebration, a space where body, ancestry, and sexuality meet. The performance premiered at Black Box teater, Oslo, 2025. Co-created with Ulf
