Voguing is in Antigel’s DNA. By showcasing it in Geneva, the Festival contributes to writing the history of the exuberant ballroom scene in Switzerland, celebrating its struggles, conquests and admirable innovations.

Voguing is a quest for beauty and ostentation, for sophistication pushed to its limits and for fabulous stylistic innovations. Born in the 1970s in New York clubs frequented by the LGBTQ+ Latino and African American community, this demanding, fiercely underground culture has been experiencing a tremendous revival in Europe over the past decade. In Geneva, Antigel offers it a prestigious showcase. Alongside Murmaid Asiah 007, the festival brings together for the first time some of the most famous ‘major houses’ (social groups structured as surrogate families) and European outcasts in a competition where all identities are celebrated at the crossroads of dance, fashion and performance.
