Kilian, non-binary artist, wanted to convey a real message of tolerance on the set of The Voice, this Saturday March 5.
They define themselves as a “chimerical cabaret creature“. Kilian, a 23-year-old candidate, faced the judgment of the four coaches of The Voice for the fourth round of blind auditions, broadcast this Saturday, March 5. If Amel Bent, Vianney, Marc Lavoine and Florent Pagny did not return their chair after his interpretation of the title “Funny era” by Clara Luciani, the non-binary artist, who performs on the Parisian cabaret scene under the name Andro Kill, still wanted to convey a strong and important message. “I’m waiting for [cette émission] either a springboard for artists, an enhancement and a highlighting, but not only. I think it’s important to show up for the message of tolerance behind“, he confided in an interview with TF1info. Before adding:I also did this show to bring visibility to the LGBTQIA+ communityshow that we exist and that we are visible.”
gender ambiguity
In her portrait released after her performance in the telecrochet of TF1, Kilian defined herself as a “creature of the night that comes to play with gender ambiguity through make-up, outfits, heels, corsets“. Then they went on to talk about their life journey, their deep-rooted desire to become an artist… and the discrimination they suffered because of their non-binarity. “Being the person I am today hasn’t always been easy. I transformed all the hatred that I may have suffered in my childhood or in my adolescence. All the discriminations, I sublimated them through my character“, admitted Kilian.
“I also participated in “The Voice” for the visibility of gender identities in general. There are a lot of them. Non-binarity is one of the specters of transidentityexplained Kilian in his interview with TF1info. Today, there are so many nuances and sensitivities that it is important to deconstruct genres and to be able to identify.” With our colleagues from Closerhe insisted on the importance of “deconstruct gender and let each person feel who they want“.”I was born in a boy’s body, and it suits me very well. But I feel as much a man as a woman (…). I don’t set myself any gender limits“, he said. Today, Kilian does not hold “even more account of criticism“and does not see”than the positive“. And above all, they are well surrounded: “My family is proud of meaccept my sexual identity and orientation.”
