about
Oli De Vos
Oli De Vos [they/them] is a Brussels based filmmaker and photographer, graduate of RITCS School of Arts in Brussels (2022). Their work explores the potential of audiovisual language to imagine and construct queer utopias. Through this ongoing inquiry, De Vos seeks not only to illuminate themes of queer identity and sexuality, but also to approach creation itself as a queer, unstable, and transformative act.
Their graduation short film Atopia has been acclaimed at several international festivals, including Doclisboa International Film Festival (Lisbon, Portugal), Go Short International Film Festival (Nijmegen, Netherlands), and Encounters International Film Festival (Bristol, United Kingdom). Together with Accattone Films, Oli is currently developing their first feature film.

Drag Couenne
From theatre school thesis project to winning the very first Drag Race Belgium in 2022 – Addi De Biasi’s alter ego (or is it vice versa?) Drag Couenne is a queer, hybrid and undisciplined stage entity, who exists at the crossroads of theatre, performance and drag. Equally flamboyant and trashy, Drag Couenne embodies an ongoing artistic and political critique of gender norms, dominant narratives on and off stage, and of the aesthetics of transformation (and therefore drag) itself.
This has taken Drag Couenne to all kinds of productions: from bars and squats to cabaret and theatre stages, from comedy and object theatre to puppetry and experimental contemporary* theatre, both in French and in Dutch. And in the not-so-distant future they make their silver screen debut, as the main character in Oli De Vos’ first feature film — something to look oh so forward to!
