Salão de Baile

If the weather is bad, the screening will take place indoors

With an introduction by XD Erica and Júnia Matsuura

Dive into the electrifying world of Brazil's ballroom scene! In Rio de Janeiro City and its outskirts, LGBTQ+ youth of color recreate Ballroom culture on their own terms. This upbeat tribute showcases a universe where LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities defy repressive social constraints through creativity and style. 50 years after its inception in New York, it is a portrait of the dramas, the voguing performances, and the art of shade. Meet Rio's key players in this sweaty, delightfully unruly film that celebrates movement and resistance. Rio is burning!
