History of Voguing: Fabulous

Event Information

Film: 

FABULOUS, Audrey Jean-Baptiste, 2019, France, 46 min, French with English subtitles 

Lasseindra Ninja, the main character of the film, is a professional transgenre dancer born in 1986. She’s a well-known artist in France’s voguing scene. After building her career through the balls of New York, France and Brazil, among many other main stages, she comes back to her home country to introduce voguing in French Guiana. By the means of her workshop, we catch a glance of its emergence and its impact on self-empowerment for a consolidating LGBTQ community. A glimpse of self-liberation and freedom of expression through the body.

For the screening of Fabulous we are collaborating with the ballroom collective So Extra Berlin of Mother Zueira Gucci, who proudly invites the main protagonist of the documentary, the Legendary Mother Lasseindra Ninja from Paris. After the screening, the pioneer of the French and European ballroom scene, will answer all voguing-related questions and present a showcase of the history of Vogue Performance
