Sissy Ball returns this summer for the ultimate warm-up, and you are not ready of what is to come.
The biggest vogue ball in the Southern Hemisphere soars to new heights as vogue families from across the country battle it out under the regency of the Ball’s continuing curator: MOTHER KIANNA LOUBOUTIN ORICCI. Watch as walkers find their home on stage, join thousands chanting their calls and prepare yourself for a night of drama and sensation.
Born to bridge a bond with houses in Aotearoa, Legendary Mother of Australian Ballroom Benji Ra brought Sissy Ball to the Sydney Mardi Gras scene in 2018. Now recognised as a global stage for the excellence, embodiment and fantasy of the ballroom scene down under, the Ball’s second curator Godmother Kilia took it to new heights. Kianna continues this legacy as the Australian mother of the International House of Nina Oricci and the trailblazing mother of the Naarm Kiki Scene. Grounded in the art forms of street dance and Ballroom, Kianna’s practice centres around Trans and POC cultural and political art.
