Future Citizens

the story of Vlad

Tickets
Vlad grows up in Saint Petersburg, in a small apartment with their parents, grandfather and beloved babushka. Their childhood is filled with tram rides through the city, Russian music and the smell of freshly made blini. But when Vlad discovers they are falling in love with boys, life turns into a secret. For eight years, Vlad and their partner Sergei live behind closed doors, afraid of being seen, betrayed or excluded.

When Vlad is dismissed in 2019 because of their sexuality and no longer feels safe at home, they decide to flee together. In the Netherlands they find freedom, but also uncertainty: a new language, no work, no network and the question of how to start over.

In this special edition of Future Citizens, actor Dragan Bakema brings Vlad’s personal story to life, accompanied by music by Oleg Fateev. Mo Hersi hosts the evening. A powerful and hopeful performance about love, freedom, finding a home and the courage to follow your own path.
