A choreographic experiment in power, intimacy, exchange, and a little bit of p0rn
This second semester, COKO Happenings 2026 unfolds under the theme Dissident Bodies.
Exploring the body as a site of tension, desire, labour, care, and transformation, the series brings together performances that question fixed identities and expose the forces shaping everyday life.
Celebrating Pride Amsterdam 2026, REYER opens the Dissident Bodies Series with Las Hustlerboy:
Las Hustlerboy explores themes of power, intimacy, transactionality, and sexuality, beginning from a concrete premise: REYER entered into a collaboration with a sex worker, reversing their usual roles. From this inversion emerges an unstable choreography in which positions continuously circulate. The client becomes sex worker, the sex worker becomes director, the performer becomes object, and the audience shifts from witness to co-player.
Within this work, money operates not merely as a means of payment but as a performative instrument, activating relationships and sharpening the boundaries between labor, desire, autonomy, and surrender.
Rather than presenting sex work as spectacle, Las Hustlerboy approaches it as methodology, a way of rethinking authorship and consent through the circulation of control, desire, and vulnerability. What remains deliberately unresolved is the central tension the work sustains: who, in the end, is performing whom?
short bio
Reyer van Barneveld is a dancer, choreographer, and QTBIPOC nightlife organiser and facilitator based in Amsterdam. His practice operates at the intersection of performance, nightlife and lived experience.
A graduate of the BA in Dance at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO), Academy of Theatre and Dance, Amsterdam (2026), Reyer understands artistic development not as something measured by institutions or diplomas, but by the capacity to remain open, attentive, and transformed through encounters with others.
