Soeurs Malsaines Présentent: « Le Bal Crade »

Friday, October 30, from 11:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Sœurs Malsaines present Le Bal Crade at Virage Paris: Romane Santarelli (live), Marie Kalash, Nuit Claire b2b Himeji, Manon Démon.

Hear ye, hear ye, rebels, witches, and proudly marginalised folk!

By decree of the insurrection, you are summoned on October 30, from the eleventh hour of vespr (11 p.m.), at the gates of Virage Paris for the grand sabbath of the riffraff.

We overturn the monarchy, we hack the Hall of Mirrors, we burn the Élysée, we carbonize the fascists and we dance around the ashes.

The stir of revolt will begin the very moment the royal gilding melts and the suffocating corsets crack. On this night of pure jacquerie, reclaim possession of our peripheries and lead the circle-dance over the debris of the old world. See the chandeliers waver, the brocaded gowns tear, and polite courtly manners go up in smoke. This ball is no longer a sacred ceremony for the powerful and tyrants: it becomes again the wild fair of those who overflow the margins.

From 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., we blow up the codes of the ball and trample privileges amid the incandescent set pieces of La Briche Foraine. The night unfolds as theater, live, drag, voguing and krump, carried to dawn by the fury of the minstrels and troubadours of chaos.
