Knižné plátno: House of Velvet | Letná čitáreň Medická záhrada

👉 The screening of the document on the first Czech-Slovak Ballroom House will be associated with a discussion with Edgy Tisci and Roman himself. Moments from the life of members and members of the house flow from dance to narrative, dream to real, individual to collective. Despite the insight into their daily lives, the film follows the contrast between the outside world and the safety they find inside the house and communities. Again, however, he got up from the ashes to become, among other things, an activist in the Initiative Initiative - the longest functioning organization in Slovakia, which fights for LGBTI+ people's rights. More than 13 years ago, he founded a project Tepláreň, which after a terrorist attack in 2022 continues as a series of community, cabaret and awareness events in various places, not only in Bratislava.

✨ Edgy Tisci
Edgy Tisci, originally Egid Minac, is a Queer Roma, who was born in Czechoslovakia, but grew up in Australia. Already as a teenager he started a professional ballet career in Europe. He worked as a soloist in German theaters, danced in classic ballets and musicals and later devoted himself to choreography and cooperation with important creators. After returning to Sydney, he graduated from the film and returned to Europe where he discovered the Ballroom scene. He became the Prince of The Kiki House of Freija and today he works in Vienna as Edgy Tisci, a member of the International Major House of Ricardo Tisci. In addition to artistic creation, he is also a political activist who advocates Roma rights, Queer Bipoc and Marginalized Communities.
