Monster Ball — sold out
Step into a night of gruesome extravagance at Temper Tantrum Bonehouse’s Monster Ball, where you’re invited to transform into your biggest fear. Hosted by Mette Sterre, Ainhoa Hernández Escudero, and Taka Taka, with drag performers from the House of Løstbois: Alfa Hoer, blueberriboi, brooms tic, Labello Dickodello, Naza Løtus, Lucian Squid, Helena, Vinny Von Vinci, and LOST TIME, as well as Lady Bag, the Monster Mashers, and with music by Jiji Jizu. Expect creaturely activations, creepy-crawl dancing, shadow play, and ghoulish performances.
Join us in a festive ritual of becoming, an explosion of mania that explores the dark side of your moon (and everyone else’s). A prize awaits the best-dressed monster of the night.
The evening culminates in a Monster Mash protest parade, where monsters reclaim the streets of Amsterdam. The parade leads us to Club Church, where the ball continues deep into the night in an intense embrace of the danse macabre.

House of Løstbois is the first drag king house established in the Netherlands, founded in 2019. It is a warm, queer space that welcomes underrepresented people in the drag community, using the walls of the fetish Club Church as their headquarters. Living queerly for Løstbois involves meeting weekly to play with makeup and costumes, rehearse for the sake of rehearsing, and share processes and stories of our reality. A reality lived within patriarchal archetypes.
