RomânăRoaba de Cultură
Herăstrău
For three days, at Pride Park (Roaba de Cultură) we will be celebrating the queer culture through a series of concerts and performances alongside queer artists or allies of the LGBTI+ community. We will rejoice on exhilarating disco, new and old pop, bedroom pop rhythms and together we will explore a lot more other musical styles. We will get to witness drag shows, a voguing performance and a lot more surprises. We will also have beside us a part of the Global Records artists, who wish to celebrate love in all its forms alongside us: Wrs, Holy Molly & RENGLE.
Line-up:
Wednesday, 11th of August – 19:00: Sofia Zadar Performance – The artist`s music combines synth-pop, post-punk and art-pop influences and explores the linkage spaces between the emotional and the social, all from a queer and feminist perspective.
Thursday, 12th of August – 17:50: Performance +SHE+ (Corina Sucarov) – A mixture of intense emotions at the border of synth-pop & dark-electro.
18:40: Billie Rose, Cabiria Morgenstern & Poetrip Performance – A performance about the reclaiming of queer pleasure realised from the collaboration of Billie Rose – rope addict, experience curator and intimacy constructor, Cabiria Morgenstern – actress that searches for the interweaving of the performative arts with the avant-garde from a queer perspective, and Poetrip, a project that joyingly hops around through the musical styles, with strong contrasts between dance music and vulnerable interiorized passages, plus verses that make you laugh and make you think.
19:20: Voguing Performance: Irina Milan&Students & Waana Neagu + DJ Set Octavia – A performance by Irina Milan, member of the Legendary Voguing House ‘House Of Milan’ & ‘Mother of the Romanian chapter’, alongside her students and Waana Neagu, the Voguing and Waacking pioneer in Romania and Mother of The Imperial House of Waacking (Romanian chapter). All of this to the music chosen by DJ Octavia, who combines the love of dance, music and culture, wishing to push the clubbing forward through the elegant selections of vogue beats, house and disco.
20:50: DJ Set YCS – a musical artist that activates as a DJ in the local queer scene and is conveying her politics and emotion through music. Ballroom is one of the artist`s main influences, being also a new vogue performer. For Pride, she is preparing a set dedicated to the Ballroom culture through a DJ set dedicated to the community, which exclusively contains a musical repertoire specific to this culture.
22:30: Drag shows with Rayne O`Plasty, Ander Bishhe & Vergine Santa Frida – Bucharest Pride 2021 marks the debut on the Bucharest drag scene of Rayne O`Plasty: 50% pop star, 50% clown, but at all times a 100% memorable performance. Also going up on the Pride Park stage will be Ander Bishhe, first born of the Santa Frida House, who describes drag as being for her an unending source of inspiration and manifestation. Her passion for drag and her taking pride in her gender fluidity contributes to her desire to radiate forward, to the young people of the community, the courage to express their most authentic selves. We`re also eagerly awaiting Vergine Santa Frida`s show, a drag queen present on the scenes of Bucharest since 2018, who succeeded in amazing us over the time with her unexpected performances and extravagant outfits, always leaving room for evolution.
Friday, 13th of August – 17:00: Ioana NX Performance – Ioana NX is a bisexual artist who manages to reach people`s hearts through the message of her chosen songs and her calming voice.
17:40: Wrs Performance – Andrei Ursu, aka wrs, is a multidisciplinary artist with an unique vision. Since January of 2020, wrs has been working on his electro pop project, writing music, lyrics, but also directing his own clips, and creating the covers for his singles.
18:10: Performance with Special Guests
18:50: Holy Molly Performance – Holy Molly is bold, sexy and unpredictable. Singer, songwriter and actress, Holy combines all of the qualities of a true pop star. Among her hits we remind ‘Menage a Trois’ and ‘Alcohol’, and recently ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ launched her into the international charts.
19:30: RENGLE Performance – Emil Rengle is one the most known members of the LGBTQ+ community in Romania. The activist artist broke the barriers, changed the mentalities of some in Romania, pleading for diversity and inclusion.
