A Pride Revolution

New York, 1969. In a bar full of music, colour and tension, frustration within the queer community erupts into the Stonewall riots: a moment that becomes the starting point of an international struggle for equal rights and visibility.

More than fifty years later, that history is far from over. In Wachten op Marsha, the past is not only remembered but mirrored against the present, where queer rights are once again under pressure and safety cannot be taken for granted.

In Wachten op Marsha, a group of queer activists prepares a radical action during World Pride 2026. They aim to draw attention to rising violence, exclusion and political pressure on the queer community. What begins as a shared mission slowly turns into a tension between ideals and strategy.

Under the leadership of Marvan, the leader of a group of queer activists, the question grows of how far one may go in the fight for visibility and protection. When does activism need to become sharply focused, and when does it risk losing itself?

Raymi Sambo on Wachten op Marsha:
“I am deeply concerned about the rising violence against queer people, also here in the Netherlands. Like the characters in Wachten op Marsha, I hope for a new Stonewall moment. Perhaps this performance can help ignite that fire.”
