ALLOUT:
In more than 79 countries around the world, lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual people live in that darkness. They are persecuted, imprisoned, humiliated and tortured, their only crime being their expression of the act of love.
ALLOUT is an international organization that focusses on changing the policy, education and awareness of LTGB rights. Through video testimonials, flash mobs, petitions and other creative content they aim to start provocative conversations to alter the public opinion.
On this Midsummernight's Eve 2014, 21st June we try to make a difference. All benefits on ticket sale and the fashion auction are donated directly to ALLOUT. Let's fight this darkness and celebrate the longest day with love, play and freedom.

Aynouk Tan will open the Fairies for Freedom with a One Woman Musical.
Starting at 21:00
Mediamatic, VOC-kade 10, Oostenburg Amsterdam.
