MY HOUSE
WORLD PREMIER JUNE 19-20, 2026
MY HOUSE brings a Ball onto the stage, as Ralph Escamillan, aka Kiki Legend OA Mother Posh Gvasalia / Canadian Mother Posh Basquiat, constructs an environment that symbolizes the familial bonds that coalesce into the formation of “houses” and underpins the community in a broader sense. A cast of four introduce the world of Ballroom to contemporary dance audiences, presenting an expression of the art form that goes beyond what has made its way into popular culture.
throughout the creation period, open public rehearsals will be held to share the creation process with the Ballroom community.
This work features Canadas Ballroom talents: Icon Snoopy 007 Basquiat (Toronto) and Legendary Brian 007 (Montreal), and Father Jaws Siriano Balenciaga (Toronto); and integrates regional Commentators and DJ’s in each city it tours.
