The Barbican Centre, situated within the Barbican Estate in the City of London, England, stands as Europe's largest performing arts center. It serves as a multifaceted venue, hosting classical and contemporary music concerts, theatrical performances, film screenings, and art exhibitions. Additionally, the Barbican Centre boasts a library, three restaurants, and a conservatory, and it proudly holds membership in the World Network of Cultural Districts.

Notably, the Concert Hall at the Barbican Centre serves as the home for both the London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2013, it regained its status as the London residence for the Royal Shakespeare Company, a role it had held until 2001.

The Barbican Centre is under the ownership, funding, and management of the City of London Corporation. It was constructed as a gift from the City to the nation, with a price tag of £161 million (equivalent to £480 million in 2014). Queen Elizabeth II formally opened the Barbican Centre to the public on March 3, 1982. Furthermore, the center is renowned for its distinctive Brutalist architectural style.

A spirit of hopefulness characterises the third edition of Transpose at the Barbican, as trans voices come together to look to the future.

Featuring artists from across the generations collaborating in performances of opera, poetry, dance and electronica, this show considers what gender, identity and individuality might look like tomorrow – in a celebratory atmosphere.

Transpose is curated by CN Lester and directed by Kate O’Donnell, two of the trans community’s leading lights and multi-talented performers. In the words of CN, it’s a space in which ‘we can show you our vulnerabilities, our strengths, and – most of all – our authenticity.’
