XILLAN (Xillan Macrooy) is a Surinamese-Dutch storyteller in music, literature, and theater. As a product of multiple worlds, the ongoing transformation of identity plays a significant role in his work; XILLAN is a true shapeshifter. In 2025 and 2026, as a creator, he explores new ways to celebrate his multiplicity, aiming to build new artistic worlds that accommodate both (Surinamese queer) legacy and innovation.
