About the Event

THIS IS BALLROOM (SALÃO DE BAILE)
R: Juru and Vitã; Brasilien 2024; OmeU; DCP; 92 min.

Dieser lebendige Dokumentarfilm von Juru und Vitã führt uns durch die pulsierende Ballroom-Kultur von Rio de Janeiro. Durch den Einfluss der afround latein-amerikanischen LGBTQAI+-Subkultur der USA, wo Ballroom seinen Ursprung hat, und brasilianischen Elementen aus verschiedenen Regionen, entwickelte sich ein kultureller Cuvée, der wie ein feiner Wein stets weiter reift. Dort greifen Tanz, Musik, Mode und Performance ineinander und führen zu einer Art Katharsis für marginalisierte queere und rassifizierte Gemeinschaften. „Wir porträtieren unsere Gemeinschaft als einen Ort der Zusammenkunft und des Feierns, aber auch als einen Raum, in dem Konflikte ausgetragen werden können.“ THIS IS BALLROOM feiert in Köln seine Deutschlandpremiere.

In Anwesenheit des/der Regisseurs:in Vitã und Director of Photographie Suelen Menezes

Präsentiert von: Black & Queer NRW
Kooperation: Stadt Köln –Europa und Internationales
Deutschlandpremiere

This lively documentary by Juru and Vitã takes us through the vibrant ballroom culture of Rio de Janeiro. Through the influence of the Afro and Latin American LGBTQAI+ subculture of the USA, where Ballroom originated, and Brazilian elements from various regions, a cultural cuvée has developed that continues to mature like a fine wine. There, dance, music, fashion and performance intertwine and lead to a kind of catharsis for marginalized queer and racialized communities. “We portray our community as a place of gathering and celebration, but also as a space where conflict can be resolved.” THIS IS BALLROOM celebrates its German premiere in Cologne.

With director Vitã and Director of Photographie Suelen Menezes in attendance
