TRANSposed – A musical concert on the LGBTQ+ spectrum

Welcome to TRANSposed and our pilot concert! We have gathered a group of skilled trans and gender-nonconforming musical artists who, together with a live band, will deliver a concert packed full of raw, touching, catchy, and fun songs from the entire music canon. There will be solos, duets, trios, and group numbers, all with a unique queer twist. We promise a wonderful evening with great vibes and even better music! TRANSposed is a concert concept created by Mio Eggen and Gabriel Wilson Ness, arising from a desire to highlight trans and gender-nonconforming performers in the Norwegian musical scene and to challenge the boundaries of who can play which roles. Even in such an open and accepting environment, finding one's place can be challenging when breaking norms around voice, gender expression, or both, and these norms don’t just limit trans people. Therefore, we hope that TRANSposed can contribute to more openness and greater gender diversity on Norwegian musical stages in general while also casting a fresh and queer light on well-known musical theater repertoire. Doors open: 19:00 Concert starts: 19:30 Duration: 90 minutes (including a 15-minute break) ID: 20+ Featuring: SINGERS: Mio Eggen, Gabriel Wilson Ness, Sofie Lauritzen, Olivia Håheim, and Elliot Hegland. BAND: Mikael Morvik Kyrkjebø, Allan Tolnæs, Marianne Bragstad Eid, and Gilles Monteiro Teixeira. Notice about ticket prices: Because it is important to us that art is accessible regardless of finances, we use a somewhat unconventional ticketing system with 6 different price levels ranging from 150 NOK to 500 NOK—not based on whether you are a student, senior, or early bird, but simply based on how much you can contribute. We want no one to feel that their wallet is too small to experience our concert. However, if you genuinely believe in our concept and wish (and have the means) to support queer performing arts, or simply have a bit extra to spend, we would greatly appreciate it if you choose one of the higher price levels. All ticket revenues go back to the concept and help us finance future concerts. It is also possible to buy tickets at the door, where you can choose between two of the price levels, ORANGE (200 NOK) and GREEN (300 NOK).
