Little tentacle monsters and space doctors, beware! The new theme for YaYCon is ‘Back to the future’! Coming to you on the 6th of April, the Icoon Theater in Amersfoort will be the center of the universe for all things Yaoi and Yuri!
This YaYCon is blast from the past of anime and manga, especially its genres yaoi and yuri, but we’ll also be trekking straight to the future!
Eductive Japanese cyborgs and clones are part of the scope but also Western science fiction like Doctor Who. Science fiction is a theme that has appealed to fans of boy’s love and girl’s love since ages, both in Japan and in Western countries, where slash pioneered through supporters of Kirk/Spock. Resistance is, as always, futile.
Sci-fi is typically seen as a genre that appeals to men, but at YaYCon, we like to think that it’s fundamentally feministic. It opens opportunities to re-envision social change in terms of politics and gender as well as sexuality. Sci-fi is also a provocative aesthetic style that be combined with nostalgia, a sentiment for old devices, atmospheres and historical times.
Starship YaYCon is open to everyone that likes romancing characters or has a general interest in anime and manga, steampunk or British doctors. Our portal opens in Amersfoort. Are you ready to leap in?
