Lesboa Party – Carnival Editon is an event oriented to the gay & lesbian community, and to all of those who enjoy good music and good vibes. It will take place on Monday, February 15th, 2010, from 11:30pm, at Teatro da Luz, Lisbon. On the line-up, Miss T (warm-up) and DJ Fernando. In addition for the very first time in Portugal, we will be having the Italian DJ Lusky, the celebrated Venus Rising Rome parties’ resident DJ.
Lesboa Party is an itinerant event; as usual, the place chosen to hold Lesboa Party –Carnival Edition was carefully selected. Teatro da Luz, at Largo da Luz, Carnide, is getting ready to welcome on holiday’s (Mardi Gras) eve, the carnival edition of the most important and popular LGBT and heterofriendly party, since 2006.
The place
Teatro da Luz was once a convent, and a somewhat monastic aura still prevails, which will definitely enrich this Lesboa Party – Carnival Edition. But – beware! – nuns will have to stay outside! The party’s theme is Fairy Tales, and the suggested dress code is meant to pay tribute to that magical universe. Here are some examples: “Rapunzel”, “Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, "Puss in Boots", “Cinderella”, “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland”, and many others.
It does not matter if you come as a witch or a gnome, the night’s central characters will be the party people. Music, covering a wide variety of styles, will be the main ingredient of a night made to celebrate. Samba will be replaced by pop hits (from Madonna to Billy Idol), house/dance music and electronic sounds. At the same time, screens will display visuals by Razor Collective.
Musical line-up
On the dance floor, located in the theatre’s Grand Hall, the night opens with Miss T, who will warm up the partygoers with sexy, electrifying and physically irresistible tunes (hits from the 80’s to the present, mixing rock, alternative and disco music). Next, someone who does not need introduction: DJ Fernando, who just released his CD “Annual Mix 2010”, broadly renowned for his work in Orbital radio, and for producing and remixing some of the greatest house/dance hits of the moment.
Guest DJ Lusky (Venus Rising Rome’s resident DJ) takes control of the cabin and of the turntables around 4:00pm, and she will make the crowd go wild with her contagious energy and electronic beats. Figurehead of the Italian gay circuit (Gorgeous I'm & Gay Village), Lusky DJ is one of the very few women regularly deejaying at the most famous clubs in Rome and Italy and around Europe, attending the main European festivals and gay pride parades.
Summing up: if life lasts only two days and Carnival three, no one will certainly want to miss a night bursting with good music and bodies ready to dance till dawn...
