House of Saint Laurent

The Revolution Ball

  • Dance
English /  approx. 420 mins.

Loud, proud and combative! In a world where queer, trans and BIPoC communities are under increasing pressure worldwide, the Ballroom is becoming an increasingly important place of resistance – a space of self-empowerment, visibility and radical creativity. Ballroom was never ‘just’ art – it was and is an act of rebellion, a vibrant manifesto of queer will to live.

The House of Saint Laurent invites you to a night of empowerment, elegance and unwavering pride. Together with all participants, it celebrates the power of past liberation movements, recalls queer history and calls for new courage, cohesion and action.

Whether on the catwalk, in the spotlight or on the edge of the dance floor – now is the time to be loud. Now is the time to stay visible. Now is the time to make a statement.
