Belgium is a kingdom, but for one evening it will be transformed into a Queerdom. It's a chance to discover Queens, Kings, Princes and Princesses, not to mention ballroom culture. We'll also be celebrating our musical sovereigns who have forged our history. Get your best crowns ready!
This event will be held twice, so that all festival-goers will be able to attend, taking into account the capacity of the venue : Cirque Royal.
Featuring...
Born in Algiers and based in Brussels, LaDiva Live has been pursuing an international career since 2010, performing at numerous LGBTQIA+ events around the world, from Canada to China and across several European countries. Singing saved her life. As an ambassador for diversity in Brussels, she is delighted to be taking part in the festival alongside us. Not to mention that she is also the godmother of the organising choir, Sing Out Brussels!
My name is Terata Mamé. At the crossroads of tragedies, disasters and my grandmother’s stories, I bring to life tales that both burn and soothe. My drag is deeply rooted in my dual Belgian and Greek heritage. Performing in front of choirs from across Europe and the world is a real honour. I love tackling subjects that are rarely discussed, creating genuine emotions: making people cry with joy, laugh through sadness, and bringing people together around powerful human stories.
Being part of the queer community, Pato Montes feels it’s his duty to share his stories, which can be relatable to all of us. “A a former member of the Sing Out Brussels! Choir, having the opportunity of being onstage as a solo artist is a dream come true, especially in one of the most important music venues (Cirque Royal on June 25) of my new home: Belgium, along with my friends! I know my stories can resonate with the people who will attend, and can bring a moment of reflection, inner inspection, of healing but also a moment of musical professionalism and community”.
