"A True Story" - 71BODIES/ Daniel Mariblanca

A True Story is a new performance by 71BODIES - the company of choreographer Daniel Mariblanca. In 2017 Mariblanca already made a big impression on Boulevard with his performance  WOMAN  and in 2018 he returned with the performance  71BODIES 1DANCE . In  A True Story Daniel Mariblanca focuses on transgender childhood, transgender parenting and family relationships. 

In  A True Story, choreographer Daniel Mariblanca collaborates with national and international artists and creates a performance in which dance, live music, visual art and performance come together. The performance is based on the lives of the dancers themselves – children, teenagers and adults – who, like Mariblanca, are transgender. 

Daniel: “We, transgender people, cannot go through a transition alone. We need all of society to make the transition with us. For this we need to hear and consider all sides of the story. The essence of  A True Story is to illuminate the complexity of all experiences; not only of the transgender person, but also how the family experiences the gender transition of their child, parent, partner or friend.”  

A True Story is part of Lijn73, in which we work with makers who have or want to develop a special involvement with the city. This year, too, they will work with specific groups such as the public or co-makers in a number of projects. In this way, Theaterfestival Boulevard continues to immerse itself in and connect with the city and its residents.
