MY HOUSE is a bold new work by the award-winning queer, Canadian-Filipinx choreographer Ralph Escamillan (aka Kiki Legend OA Mother Posh Gvasalia and Canadian Mother Posh Basquiat). This fabulous performance celebrates Ballroom Culture, and the familial bonds embedded within the structure of a HOUSE. Bringing the BALL from the runway to the stage, the piece features Voguers from the Canadian Scene, with a local Ballroom Commentators and DJ.
Subversive, joyful, and playful, MY HOUSE uses the collective fantasy-building of Ballroom, beats that make you pump, and movement that carries the liberating truth of being fully oneself on the floor.
Post-show artist talkback June 20th at TBA
