Las Hustlerboy by REYER
About this Event
Celebrating Pride Amsterdam 2026, REYER opens our second semester COKO happenings program Dissident Bodies 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?
