WERKSTATT: TRANS*FAIR

In the 2023/24 season, the Saxon Football Association (SFV) revoked the playing rights of five Red Star Leipzig footballers. This was followed by a court case that highlighted the SFV's trans hostility and lack of awareness. TRANS*FAIR is taking this as an opportunity to transform the theater stage into a soccer pitch together with amateur footballers, because one thing is certain: without TIAN* no team! That's why we have questions: What does the right to play actually mean and who decides on the right to play? How do we cross from Leipzig to Bautzen and ensure the sustainable participation of TIAN* people in Saxon sport? Does the round always have to go into the square? Is soccer lesbian flirting? How to queer the football pitch? How do TIAN* people perceive their bodies when playing soccer? And how much queer and trans joy can fit into 90 minutes?
