Young Vic Taking Part release production photos for Sundown Kiki Reloaded, a unique and explosive multi-disciplinary production that celebrates voguing and theatre, brought to you by UK Father of House of Revlon and pioneer of the London Ballroom Scene, Jay Jay Revlon, and award-winning director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu.
Following the sell-out run of Sundown Kiki in 2021, the rival houses are back in Sundown Kiki Reloaded. Watch the worlds of theatre and ballroom come together, as two families go head-to-head in an evening of pumping music, dance and partying that celebrates a Queerer London in all its glory.
It runs at the Young Vic in The Maria until 11 August. There will be a free live broadcast of the production on Thursday 10 August, 7.45pm. Tickets can be booked at www.youngivc.org
