Dyke March Book Club + Movie Night: Orlando

In May the Dyke March Book Club will be reading “Orlando” by Virginia Woolf! We will also watch the 2023 Paul Preciado movie “Orlando, My Political Biography’ after the book club.

The book club meeting (sign-up required) will take place on Sunday 3 May, 16-18hr at NieuwLand. The movie will start at 18:30 and is open to all, no sign-up required!

"Written for her lover Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is Woolf’s playfully subversive take on a biography, here tracing the fantastical life of Orlando. As the novel spans centuries and continents, gender and identity, we follow Orlando’s adventures in love – from being a lord in the Elizabethan court to a lady in 1920s London.”

“A sparklingly intelligent, genre-fluid exploration of the trans experience, in which philosopher and trans activist Paul B. Preciado directly addresses Virginia Woolf. Her famous fictional character Orlando was the inspiration for this film.”
