At Galeries Lafayette Champs-Elysées, choreographer and performer Michelle Tshibola brings together the dancers from the House of LaDurée for a voguing ball celebrating the initiation rite of a young novice. Transcending genres and codes, Rituel takes us on a tour of the department stores', transforming it for one night into a ballroom scene for France's first voguing House, where each member can reveal and assert their identity.

Michelle Tshibola (France) is a dancer, performer and choreographer. A member of the first French Voguing House, she recently created her own troupe "Venus Noire", with the aim of opening a Parisian Queer and Noir cabaret open to all.
