La Gender Reveal Party

La Gender Reveal Party: une idée foireuse

Welcome to the Gender Reveal Party!
A big party for an absurd idea!
Bring blue or pink socks?
A remote-controlled car or a doll?
A dress or a pair of pants?
Are you probably wondering? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you!
Why not both?
The three? The four?
What if you brought everything with you? Or something completely different…
Let’s celebrate the complexity of human nature.
Let’s blow up the binary.
Let’s celebrate our diversity, and let’s make a disco ball out of all our facets, however numerous they may be, and light up the night.
How can maximalism become a source of joy and gathering?
Whether you have knowledge of the queer world, circus and drag or not, welcome!
Both adults and children, because even if it’s funny, we won’t just be talking about penises and vulvas.
We hope you’re ready, put on your best sequin pants and bring your plushie, and let’s all enjoy an evening together!

La Gender Reveal Party will be a circus spectacle, a kitschy drag cabaret that invites the audience into an industrial, campy atmosphere. Four drag queens, clowns, kings and queers deliver acrobatics, choreography and singing in fragmented pieces.

House of Hermess

House of Hermess is a drag house and a contemporary circus company. La Gender Reveal Party is the first major project of artists graduated from the Centre National des Arts du Cirque and the Fratellini Academy. The company is based in France but also plans to perform in Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. It specializes in aerial acrobatics and mixes circus disciplines with research into materials, costumes, make-up and lighting. In addition to the stage, they also develop a program of transmission, events, activities to bring the art closer to people and give an insight into their work.
