Marje Hirvonen | like, really cunt

Party, catwalk and empowerment - that's what LIKE, REALLY CUNT offers. Finnish choreographer Marje Hirvonen brings together five unique dancers from the voguing scene. A style that originated in Harlem's queer ballroom subculture in the 70s. Voguing is storytelling. The performers bring their own biographies to the catwalk. And rock the stage at Hirvonen - accompanied by a DJ*. All in a protected space. A playground and ballroom: exuberant, tolerant and extravagant. Invent yourself. Enter the battle. Be whatever you want to be - and you will be seen! Voguing is more than just dance art. It is a lived utopia. A party paradise. LIKE, REALLY CUNT celebrates the energy that goes beyond bodies. Bodies that are political in their very existence. Welcome to the world of limitless identities!

The day before the performances, a LIKE, REALLY CUNT workshop will take place at the Pumpenhaus.
