BALLROOM OR BALL is the term used to describe what started as an underground LGBTQ+ subculture. That has since grown and flourished into a global counter- cultural phenomenon. Originating from young African-American and Latinx- American individuals in New York City, USA, people walk (or compete) for prizes and status at ball events.

This event is organized by Edition Events hosted by the House of Le Cap in Cape Town since 2022.

EDITION EVENTS has hosted hundreds of events and parties over the past 6 years, successfully creating spaces for Queer and minority people in the heart of Cape Town. They are passionate about enabling others to develop their voice and share their brilliance as they invite many artists to collaborate and bring their magic into their spaces.

THE HOUSE OF LE CAP Kirvan was an accomplished performer and activist, deeply invested in their community locally and internationally. In 2017 Kirvan established the House of Le Cap, the first premiere ballroom house in Africa, after meeting with the Mother of the House of Vineyard in Amsterdam.

The community has grown exponentially since its genesis, and it’s this LEGACY we celebrate and continue since a homophobic attack took Kirvan’s life in 2020. It’s our commitment to creating and supporting safe queer spaces, where underrepresented communities can flourish in the face of the social status quo.

SPACE SPACE OPEN TO ALL for Queer people, Women, Femme presenting people and straight allies. Everyone is welcome to join us, to participate, or to watch.
